  • IFRF Topic Orientated Technical Meeting 29 (TOTeM 29) will take place at the University of Munich on Thursday 12th and Friday 13th October. The Topic is ‘Characterisation of Biofuels for Co-combustion’.

    On Thursday October 12th, under the Chairmanship of IFRF Superintendent of Research Professor Hartmut Spliethoff, invited speakers will present the results of their R&D activities under two IFRF supported European Consortium Programmes, BIOFLAM and POWERFLAM2. Several complimentary presentations on similar work from other Consortia are also included, and in addition, several delegates have already indicated their intention of displaying posters on a similar theme. Delegates are reminded that there is still an opportunity to propose posters.

    On Friday October 13th, IFRF President Professor Mikko Hupa will chair the TOTeM29 Workshop including:

    • an industry panel to present and answer questions on the current industry activity in this area
    • an interactive discussion with the industry panel on ‘R&D Needs’
    • a ‘Partnership Exchange’ in which delegates wishing to seek partners for new European Consortia will present their initial ideas in a poster based networking session. Delegates with an interest in proposing or seeking a new partnership to apply for cofunding from the EC FP7 programme are invited to propose posters for this session.

    The TOTeM will end with an optional lunch at 13.00 on Friday 13th October.

    Accommodation for TOTeM29 participants has been set aside at the Achat Hotel near Munich Airport. Buses will be available to carry participants between this hotel and the TOTeM29 venues.
