Organised by IOM Communications Ltd together with the Society for Adhesion and Adhesives

Following the success of the Euradh conferences at Karlsruhe in 1992, Mulhouse in 1994, Cambridge in 1996, Garmisch-Partenkirchen in 1998, Lyon in 2000, Glasgow in 2002 and Freiburg im Breisgau in 2004, Euradh 2008 will take place in Oxford from 03 - 05 September 2008. Euradh 2008 will also encompass Adhesion '08, the 10th in the series of international conferences held since 1980 on a triennial basis in the UK.

The scientific committee, which is drawn from specialists well-known to the international adhesion community and is co-chaired by RA Chivers (UK), E Papon (France) and W Possart (Germany), now requests papers on any of these aspects of the science and technology of adhesion and adhesives:

• Fundamental aspects of adhesion
• The science and technology of surfaces
• Bio-adhesion and cellular adhesion
• Properties of surfaces
• Engineering aspects of adhesion and engineering applications
• Super-molecule structures used in adhesives
• Advances in adhesive materials
• Environmental and ecological aspects
• Mechanical properties of bonded joints including their durability
• Quality procedures, testing and standardisation
• Innovative designs and applications
• Industrial aspects

The Conference programme will give a high priority to poster sessions.

The 7th Wake Memorial Lecture and the presentation of the de Bruyne Medal for 2008, will form the centrepiece of the Conference; previous recipients of both awards can be seen on the 'Awards' page at http://www.uksaa.org/.
