Scope and Topics:
CITEM is a forum for scientists and technicians from Ibero-American countries to meet
and discuss the latest research trends and technologies used in membrane processes.
The event intends to promote interaction among researchers from different institutions
across both sides of the Atlantic Ocean, which could lead to collaboration between
those institutions and development of joint research projects.
Several thematic areas of membranes science and technology will be covered,
including plenaries sections with invited lectures, oral presentations, poster sessions,
exhibitions and round-table discussion. A workshop on Membrane Technologies for
Water Treatment will take place as part of CITEM.
As usual, scientists from non-Latin American countries are welcome to CITEM 2014.
The official languages of the Congress are Spanish, Portuguese and English.
