Particle technology as a field covers a myriad of scientific and engineering subjects. Different types of materials are involved, like dry particles, colloids or suspensions as well as a variety of thermo- and physico-chemical processes and unit operations. Industrial applications abound in the technology sector, chemical industry, food industry, pharmaceutics and others. Yet, until recently, Flanders was lacking an active forum where common issues could be presented and discussed and where cross-fertilization between scientific research and industrial application could take place. This is exactly the ambitious goal of the Flemish Network for Particle technology (VNPT): to constitute a network between industry and academia that effectuates synergies, transgressing the boundaries between industrial sectors, and leads Flanders’ companies to innovation and increased competitivity
