ISIC 2023

The 22nd International Symposium on Industrial Crystallization (ISIC) is being held from 5-8 September 2023. The ISIC will be held in conjunction with the 52nd annual meeting of the British Association for Crystal Growth (BACG). The venue is the Technology & Innovation Centre at the University of Strathclyde in the city centre of Glasgow, Scotland.

The 22nd ISIC 2023 provides a meeting and a discussion forum for scientists and engineers from academia and industry as well as suppliers of crystallization and related analytical equipment. The ISIC (International Symposium on Industrial Crystallization) meetings, taking place every three years, provide a broad overview of the current science and technology of crystallization. This is where scientists and engineers of various disciplines, both academic and industrial, from all over the world meet, discuss their research and exchange ideas.

Crystallization occurs in many natural physical, biological, and chemical systems, and is key in numerous applications, ranging from novel environmental and purification technologies to the production of bulk and fine chemicals, as agrochemicals, pharmaceuticals, food ingredients and pigments. This makes crystallization a core process in the chemical and pharmaceutical industry. Active research is done both in academia and industry on a broad range of subjects from fundamentals to industrial applications resulting in new findings, innovative processes and products.

​

The conference will cover the following main themes:

• Crystallization fundamentals

• New materials and products

• Advances in industrial crystallization processes

• Sustainable crystallization technologies

• Process modelling, design & control & digital design

​

We are looking forward to meeting you at the 22nd ISIC conference this year.
