Novgorod was an extremely successful conference

摘要

The 7th International Gypsum Conference, organised by the Russian Gypsum Association, was held in Nizhnii Novgorod/Russia from 10.-12.09.2014. The team of organisers, headed by Yuri Goncharov (Chairman of the Gypsum Association) and Prof. Dr. Alexandr Buryanov (Acting Director of the Gypsum Association and, simultaneously, conference secretary) succeeded in attracting practically all Russian producers of calcium sulphate binders and gypsum-based building materials to the conference. Not only the major companies, but also specialists from smaller enterprises, were thus in attendance. In all, a total of around 260 participants from seventeen countries took this excellent opportunity of making new and broadening existing contacts. The unusually large response to the conference was also reflected in a broad lecture program. The conference proceedings contain printed versions of 45 papers, kept entirely in Russian.
