Dear colleagues,

Flamac and Dechema have great pleasure in inviting you to participate in the fourth international ­workshop on Combinatorial Materials Research. This workshop will focus on several topics, including catalysts, ­polymers, formulations, coatings, advanced materials and data management.

High-throughput and combinatorial methods offer an efficient tool to vary chemical composition and material processing. Consequently, there is a great deal of interest within the industry in using HTE in materials R&D. In addition to the invited speakers, there will be several poster presentations, with prizes for the best ones. The workshop will also offer an introduction to novel
high-throughput demonstration experiments, specially designed for teaching laboratories in universities.

I hope that this will be a good opportunity to meet you in Ghent, a city that is rich in architecture from ­various periods and also has
so much more to offer (one of Lonely Planet's top 10 cities for 2011!). I look forward to welcoming you in June at the NH Ghent Belfort Hotel.

Dr Johan Paul
