11th World Filtration Congress
WFC11 is the largest and most important Filtration Event in 2012 world-wide. World Filtration Congresses accompanied by major Filtration Exhibitions have been successfully held since 1974. After a very successfull World Filtration Congress WFC10 in 2008 in Leipzig, Filtech Exhibitions was again committed to organize WFC11 in Graz which will embrace the international F&S community five days from Monday to Friday. The first day is foreseen for technical SHORT COURSES presented by leading experts. Three days are planned for the EXHIBITION and 3 ½ days for the CONGRESS. The international Exhibition will represent the world wide filtration and separation industry, manufacturers of particle measurement instruments as well as related industries featuring the latest innovations and the most modern technology available. The afternoon of the last day is reserved for post-congress PLANT TOURS.

Welcome
As Chairman of the Austrian Committee and on behalf of the Austrian Chemical Society - Gesellschaft Österreicher Chemiker, GÖCH - I have pleasure in welcoming you to the 11th World Filtration Congress in GRAZ, AUSTRIA, APRIL 16-20, 2012. The Austrian Chemical Society has a long tradition in organising major national and international events and we will work hard to organise a unique event for the world wide filtration and separation community.
The WFC11 in Austria will embrace the international F&S community five days from Monday to Friday. The first day is foreseen for technical SHORT COURSES presented by leading experts. Three and a half days are planned for the technical CONGRESS and EXHIBITION. More than 350 technical presentations are expected and a major international Exhibition from the world wide filtration and separation industry as well as manufacturers of particle measurement instruments and equipment of related industries. The afternoon of the last day is reserved for post-congress PLANT TOURS.
In GRAZ, a Unesco World Heritage Site, the Mediterranean atmosphere of the Old Town, the striking modern architecture and the great cultural diversity together create a unique and fascinating mix. As Graz is located in a valley surrounded by mountains, with the river Mur flowing through the heart of the City you will enjoy its mild spring climate. In 2003 the City of Graz was Europe’s Cultural Capital and it offers delegates and visitors alike a unique experience in art, culture and history in a warm and welcoming atmosphere. It is also ideally situated to offer interesting sightseeing visits within short distances. The new international airport Graz-Thalerhof with its domestic and international flights is located only 10km from the new Congress Venue. The Central Railway Station has both Austrian and international connections with fast and frequent services to the Capital Vienna.
We look forward to welcoming you to the 11th World Filtration Congress in Austria!
