Dear Colleague, It is our pleasure to invite you to take part in the Third International Siberian Workshop on Advanced Inorganic Fluorides "INTERSIBFLUORINE-2008" which will be held in Vladivostok, Russia.
Inorganic fluorinated materials are currently produced on an industrial scale and their applications are rapidly extending to multiple fields of everyday life. The conversion of former military applications of fluorine and fluorides into peaceful targets has opened new horizons, and new schemes of collaboration have appeared between former USSR countries and Western countries in the field of military plants conversion. Numerous research fields are involved into the process beside the inorganic fluorine chemistry: intensive basic studies and applications of energy conversion processes, electronics, opto-electronics, protection of metals, ceramics, textiles, wood, environment protection by waste management.
The majority of the Russian fluorine industrial enterprises are located in the Siberian part of Russian Federation and this was one of the reasons for choosing the Novosibirsk Scientific Centre (the Novosibirsk Academy Town) as the location of the First International Siberian Workshop ISIF-2003 (02-05 April, 2003). The Second International Siberian Workshop on Advanced Fluorides ISIF-2006 has been held on 11-16 June 2006 in Tomsk Polytechnic University, which is one of the oldest educational and scientific centers in Russia.
In view of the above, the main objective of the 3rd ISIF-2008 Workshop is to allow Russian and Former Soviet Union scientists, who had no opportunity to attend the latest meetings on fluorine chemistry, participating in discussions with university and industry specialists from Inorganic Fluorine Groups worldwide and get up-to-date information on both fundamental and technological aspects of these fields of science and technology. On the other hand, scientists coming from Universities and Industry Research Centres will be able to implement the achievements of the prominent Russian scientists – from new development routes to functional fluorinated materials.
We are confident that a special friendly atmosphere of the major scientific
centre of the Russia Far East will help us to achieve the above objective
on both scientific and social levels. The Far-Eastern Branch of the Russian
Academy of Sciences, the location of ISIF-2008 Workshop, is well-known
in international science, educational trade, and high-tech industries.
Located in the Far East Coast and being a terminal point of the Russian
Great Trans-Siberian Railroad, Vladivostok is a city characterized by
sustainable development. It was founded about 150 years ago at the Pacific
Ocean coast. In 2012 Vladivostok will host the summit of the Asia-Pacific
Economic Cooperation organization that is expected to boost its development
in many fields including science and technology. It is also important
to mention that Vladivostok is one of the most ecologically pure cities
in Russia, being at the same time the most powerful East Gate of Russia
for International Trade.
Format of ISIF-2008 - Workshop Seminar with discussion of engaged key-note, short oral and poster reports, devoted to all blocks of the Scientific Program. Materials of ISIF-2008 will be published in Proceedings Volume (1-2 pages abstracts or 5-6 pages papers). Exhibition of scientific, analytic and laboratory equipment related to ISIF-2008 from sponsoring and producing companies is assumed.
