“It was a unique opportunity to get to know the special infrastructure of newly built Membrane Innovation Centre that provided the base for participants and speakers.” summarized Aleš Černín – chairman of the Scientific Committee.

The program of the Summer School was completed with the workshops in the laboratories, excursions (SKODA Auto, Benteler, MemBrain and MEGA) and social events – two gala dinners, Opening dinner at restaurant Ještěd and the Closing dinner in glassmaker’s tavern in Lindava. The participants of the School had the opportunity to see the glassworks. With a professional comment, they had a unique chance to observe the hot fluid glass mass changing into the delicate beauty. Those, who did not resist temptation, learnt the work of glassmakers and - using the blowing pipe - made their first exclusive glass piece.
The assessment from participants and lecturers shows that the CZEMP in cooperation with its partners managed to offer a top-quality scientific programme and organize successfully the entire event.

It is a great pleasure for us to invite you also to the next event organized by the Czech Membrane Platform, MELPRO 2016, which is going to take place together with the Membrane Science & Technology Conference of Visegrad Countries PERMEA from 15th to 19th May 2016 in the Czech Republic.
