Spray Drying Online Expert Sessions – University of Leeds
9th December 2020
Please note that this series of Expert Sessions has finished. Please contact info@iformulate.biz if this topic is of interest.
The University of Leeds is inviting practitioners to join them for a set of monthly online panel sessions covering a variety of topics, looking at different aspects of the whole spray drying process. Each session will give attendees an introduction to a spray drying related topic with a panel of experts on hand to offer their perspective and answer your questions. These free of charge, hour-long sessions will offer attendees insights into their own processes and provide ideas for improvements.
By attending one or more of these sessions you will gain a taste of what is on offer in the three day face-to-face course in Leeds which was cancelled this year due to the pandemic. The next face-to-face course is planned for 20-22 April 2021. Further details will be sent in due course and to register your interest please email cpd@engineering.leeds.ac.uk.
In the meantime, please sign up here for the second free of charge online session taking place on Wednesday 9 December at 12-1pm GMT and we look forward to ‘meeting’ you. This is an open invitation so please inform any colleagues or contacts who you think may be interested in joining us. If you have any colleagues who would like to be added to the mailing list to receive details on future online sessions and to be kept updated about relevant particle engineering courses please email cpd@engineering.leeds.ac.uk
The session covers Droplet Size and takes place on Wednesday 9 December, and further sessions will be held approximately monthly. Please note sessions will take place on the Collaborate Ultra platform and login details and instructions will be sent to registered attendees in advance of the session.
