Scientific Program
Overview Detailed Poster'list session 1 Poster'list session II
We have received more than 340 submissions (200 for orals, 140 for posters). The rejection rate was for some sessions as high as 80%.
We thank the scientific committee for the reviews of the abstracts (between 2 and 5 reviews per abstract for orals).
We have intended to offer a good balance between the various methodologies (analysis, reactors, kinetics, etc.) and the application fields (biomass, wastes, fossil fuels, organic geochemistry, polymers, art & forensics, etc.).
If you wish to receive more information, please ensure you are on the PYRO2016 Mailing List.
FRONTIER-LAB Poster Prize: Frontier-Labs Young Scientist Award will be awarded to selected young scientists who make poster presentations.
Soirée in honour of Prof. Michael J. Antal Jr.
Soirée in the Museum of Fine Arts of Nancy, 9 May 2016,
“I have looked forward to your meeting
more than any other in my life”
to honor the Late Michael J. Antal, Jr

Specialists workshops
PYRO2016 is a good opportunity to organise specialists workshops, during a dedicated free time (between 9-12 May, during the symposium) or on Friday 13 May, after the symposium.
Specialists workshops are currently organised on:
(1) Kinetic modelling of pyrolysis reactions, chaired by Perrine Pepiot, pp427@cornell.edu
Thursday 12 May from 13h00 to 15h00, room to be confirmed.
(Meals and drinks will be served during the workshop)
(2) ESCAPE: AMDIS and Excel, a powerful combination in the development of an Expert System for Interpreting Py-GC/MS Data, chaired by Henk van Keulen and by Michael Schilling: h.van.keulen@cultureelerfgoed.nl / MSchilling@getty.edu
Thursday 12 May from 13h00 to 15h00, room to be confirmed.
(Meals and drinks will be served during the workshop)
(3) Analytical pyrolysis of polymers, chaired by Clemens Schwarzinger, clemens.schwarzinger@jku.at
