In 2011 we were thrilled to have a record turnout for the 5th International Granulation Workshop, which was held in Lausanne and Sheffield. Over 300 participants from industry and academia attended the conference and the course co-organised by the University of Sheffield and Nestle. In 2013 the University of Sheffield is proud to host the 6th International Granulation Workshop in Sheffield, UK. This will be the place to showcase the latest in agglomeration, granulation and particle technology. The granulation conference will provide an excellent opportunity to gain a complete overview of how the field of granulation stands at present with the presentation of a range of papers from both academia and industry. We look forward to welcoming you to Sheffield in June 2013.
