We are pleased to announce that TECNICELPA will organize once again its most important event, the XXII TECNICELPA Conference, between 2 and 4 October 2013.

This conference is expected to join Academics, Scientists, Technicians and Manufacturers from all over the world working in the Forestry, Pulp and Paper field and is therefore an event you should not miss. The program will include visits to modern and leading Pulp and Paper mills. Considering the international character of the conference the official languages will be Portuguese and English. The venue of the event will be the Hotel dos Templários, Tomar, allowing the Participants and Exhibitors to contact actively and to enjoy the same space for both the Conference and the Exhibition - EXPOCELPA.

The Organizing Committee of the XXII TECNICELPA Conference is most pleased to invite authors to submit an abstract of their work, as for oral or poster presentation, addressing one of the following specific topics:

• Forest
• Pulp
• Paper
• Energy and Environment
• Biorefinery
• Other support activities

Other related subjects such as Recycling, Converting and Printing, Logistics, Marketing, Maintenance, Human resources, Industrial Practices or others, should be included in the different main topics according to the content of the work.

The General Program includes invited plenary sessions, oral and poster presentations and a technical visit. In addition to the Welcome Reception and the Conference Banquet, the organization offers an attractive Social Programme around Tomar, one of the most beautiful historic Portuguese cities, to provide enjoyable moments for accompanying persons.

The best paper and the best poster of the conference will be symbolically recognized. Additionally, the traditional “TECNICELPA Award", created in order to stimulate the production of technical and scientific works carried out in Portugal (Companies, Universities or Research Institutes) by Portuguese or foreign authors working in the forestry, pulp and paper fields, will also be delivered to a selected paper in a ceremony to be held during the event.

The Organizing Committee of the XXII TECNICELPA - International Forest, Pulp and Paper Conference 2013 have the honour to invite all Scientists, Papermakers, Technicians, Manufacturers and Suppliers who work in the area, to participate in this event.
