INVITATION

We are inviting you as an expert and scientist in petroleum refinery and petrochemistry and associated fields of activities to present lectures on your, your companies expectations, plans, research achievements, development results. Keynote lecturers will expose broader perspectives to embedding new findings in state of the art techniques and technologies.
We have decided to stress and profit of the importance of consultation and debates. Participants are asked to ask question to panels of session lecturers to discuss lectures realted and global problems. In an unprecedented way, we are offering room for operating on a help desk basis before opening the conference. This first circular is asking you to formulate and submit questions. We collect these and publish on this homepage. Those, who sent in preliminary registration intent will have the acccess right to ask answer and comment questions. Those not preregistered will have access to collected articles and dialogs by purchasing the edited proceedings and/or CD of the conference.
It is to remember, that our traditionally familiar events bring participants into closer friendship along official and formal discussions.

Recommendations:

Scientific and technical innovations must control and flagship improvement strategies and technological scenarios of petroleum refining and petrochemistry of new EU member states and non member partners alike. This membership is a new experience for our region and beyond.

Scope:

On announcing this conference ten countries, 5 of our region, are just in a state of accession. On structuring our final program these countries are already members and on sitting together some early conslusions will already drawn. This transitional feature made the Organizing Committee (OC) to not pose too many obstacles in streamling the scope. Offerings will pave a frame. If the OC and Steering Committee (SC) feel a gap, they have the right and means to close it, by either inviting additional contributions or asking lecturers to extend the content of their presentation. We all hope and we are convinced that there will be no need for such corrections.
This transitional feature motivated us to bring this event to 2005 instead of the traditonal biannula sequence. This is the reason of choosing Sopron after an excursion to Budapest by 2002.
