Synopsis
The annual SCI Formulation forum event, now in its 7th season, brings together researchers, students, and industry experts to delve into the forefront of formulation across different industry sectors.
This dynamic symposium offers a comprehensive platform for technology innovation and approaches that are shaping the future of formulation. Join us to discuss common and diverse challenges in design, testing and characterisation of formulations from research stage to market. Discover advances in understanding formulations on the nano and macro scale, developing claims substantiation data for formulation, delivery techniques and what digitalisation has to offer formulation science.
Attendees
This event will be of interest to industrialists, academics and students working in the field of formulation science and product design, chemistry, colloids, physical sciences, analysis, pharmaceuticals, food, biological sciences and environmental sciences amongst others.
Plenary speakers will be invited by the organising committee as well as accepting abstract submissions covering original research. Submissions will be assessed by the committee and selected based on scientific merit. Accepted submissions will be presented as either an oral or poster presentation, preference indicated on submission.
