Group International Travel to VIIth World Round Table Conference on Sintering

摘要

An objective of the Conference and related Topical Symposia has been to bring together scientists, worldwide, who work in various fields of the science and technology of sintering and sintered materials. These conferences typically attract about 200 participants from 25 or more countries of the world. Such conferences represent the premier forum for discussions of all aspects of the science of sintering and have historically attracted most of the leading scientists and a significant number of younger sintering scientists. The International Program Committee for the VIIth Conference, for example, had leading sintering scientists from 23 countries, including six from the U.S. (R.L. Coble, R.M. German, D.L. Johnson, G.C. Kuczynski, H. Palmour III, and R.M. Spriggs as President of the Committee). Given its location in Yugoslavia, the Conference has also provided an unusual opportunity for international interactions.
