The 11th Aluminium Two Thousand World Congress, organized by Interall in collaboration with the Department of Industrial Engineering – University of Bologna, will take place on April 9-13, 2019 in in Treviso, Italy. The event will bring together the aluminum industry specialists from around the world together in a single venue, creating a unique opportunity for industry managers, technicians, researchers, technology suppliers, and other qualified speakers to network and explore the latest research, discoveries, and the trends for the future.
The event will include three-day conference with four parallel sessions, entirely dedicated to different subjects ranging from markets and analysis of the aluminum industry to foundry, casting, extrusion, anodizing and painting, automation, architecture, transport industry, environmental protection & recycling, measuring, testing and quality techniques — the large aluminum world for an international audience.
Aluminium Two Thousand 2019 issued a call for papers to be presented at the event.
Potential speakers are invited to submit a title (with list of the authors) for a proposed presentation by February 28, 2018.
An abstract (maximum 1 page, following the required template) should be submitted to aluminium2000@interall.it before April 30, 2018.
