Overview

We invite all members to attend the Particle Technology Special Interest Group annual meeting.

Professor Markus Kraft (Cambridge), the winner of the 2026 IChemE Geldart Medal will deliver a talk on his research (08:00-09:00), followed by the Chair's report on PTSIG activities carried out in the last year, and what lies ahead for the PTSIG. Any elected positions will then be confirmed.

There will be time for all members to ask any questions and provide their input, such as recommended activities for PTSIG to consider in the future.
