April 2, 2008: Paper submission portal is now open, however, it does not support text-only browsers at the moment. If you encounter any problems regarding paper submission please contact info@europeanmixing13.org.
The 13th in a series of European Conferences on Mixing, EFCE Event number 675, promoted by the European Federation of Chemical Engineering (EFCE) Working Party on Mixing, will be held at King's College London, University of London, on 14-17 April 2009.
The conference aims to provide a forum for both the formal presentation of
the latest fluid mixing research findings, as well as for
informal discussions between participants and contact between
university- and industry-based researchers to stimulate debate
and encourage incorporation of the latest research findings and
methodology in mixing practice. Conference sessions shall
include, inter alia, topics on fundamentals of mixing processes,
novel simulation and diagnostic techniques, single- and multi-phase
mixing, mixing of complex fluids, suspensions and dispersions, mixing with chemical reaction, mixing and polymerization, mixing and crstallization, emulsification, mixing in polymerization processes and phase inversion,
laminar and chaotic mixing, mixing through oscillations and pulsations,
mixing within fluidic devices, new developments and advances in mixing
technology.
A Manufacturers' Forum shall accompany the conference.
Both
oral and poster paper presentations are planned; in addition,
presenters of poster papers will be allocated a brief time slot to
deliver an oral outline of their research.
Interested authors are invited to submit a full paper not later than 31 May 2008.
Details of the submission procedure are provided in Paper Submission
All papers will be refereed and corresponding authors will be notified whether the paper is accepted as an oral or poster presentation by 31 July 2008.
A special issue of Chemical Engineering Research and Design edited by Prof. M. Yianneskis will be published with a selection of papers to be presented at the 13th European Conference on Mixing. Authors whose papers are recommended for consideration for journal publication will be invited to submit their papers directly to the journal in due course.
The Conference will be held in King's College London, adjacent to the magnificent buildings of the Somerset House which are located in central London on the river Thames, with very convenient access for Eurostar (from St. Pancras International station) and all five London airports, as well as European and national train services. The conference venue is located next to Londons' "Theatreland" district, Convent Garden and the Thames South Bank cultural centre which includes Shakespeare's Globe Theatre, Tate Modern, National Theatre, Royal Festival Hall, London Eye, IMAX and a wide range of leisure and cultural facilities.
Maps of the College and adjacent area can be found in: www.kcl.ac.uk/maps and upmystreet.com

Papers are to be submitted in English. We recommend that authors whose native language is other than English have their manuscripts checked before submitting their paper.
Submission of a paper implies that it has not been published previously, that it is not under consideration for publication elsewhere, and that if accepted it will not be published elsewhere in the same form, in English or in any other language, without the written consent of the publisher. Authors are responsible for the originality of their texts.
Authors should prepare their papers in accordance with the template file: Paper Template and Author Instructions. Please note the length of the paper will be fixed at 8 A4 pages and pdf files should be submitted in pdf format via the Paper Submission portal, which will be available shortly.
Authors of papers recommended by the reviewers for further consideration for the Special Issue of Chemical Engineering Research and Design will be invited to submit their papers directly (online) to the journal in due course (online submission guidance will be listed in "Special Issue paper submission" of this website). The copyright arrangements for the Special Iissue are separate and contributors will be informed by the publishers in due course.
TopAuthors whose papers submited to the Conference are recommended to be considered for publication in the Special Issue will be invited to submit their papers directly to the journal in due course.
In view of the tight publication schedule envisaged for the Special Issue, authors are requested to bear in mind that publication deadlines will be strictly adhered to.
TopThe Executive Committee of the Fluid Mixing Processes Subject Group (FMPSG) of the IChemE and the Conference Organising Committee are pleased to announce that three prizes of £ 500 will be awarded to UK-based research students whose papers have been accepted for presentation at the Conference, to cover registration fees and conference-associated costs.
A research student competition will be organised by the FMPSG in late 2008/early 2009 where the students will present their papers and the prizes will be awarded.
Further information on the competition will be announced by the FMPSG and via this web page in due course.
