Aims & Scope

EIFS2020 aims the dissemination of the high quality scientific research currently being carried out in Spain and Portugal on a wide range of fundamental and applied topics on supercritical fluids and processes. It also aims to bring together, to strengthen and create new ties and collaborations between the Iberian research community and industry working around these topics, as well as to support young Iberian researchers working on these fields. Nevertheless, and since its official language is English, EIFS2020 is also open to contributions from researchers all over the world. EIFS2020 encompasses a broad spectrum of supercritical fluids and processes related subjects. Participants are invited to submit high quality research works on several topics of interest which include, but not restricted to, the following areas:

Thermodynamics, Phase Equilibria, and Transport phenomena

High pressure fluid properties

Extraction, Fractionation, and Drying

Reactions and Supercritical Fluid Biorefinery

Particle production

Materials and Biomaterials

Products and Applications (analytical, food & nutraceutical, pharmaceutical, biomedical, catalysis, construction, oil & gas, etc.)

Industrial applications and scale-up

Every year, thousands of pilgrims from all over the world live this experience of the road on foot, by bicycle, or even on horse, bringing together in the city different cultures, thoughts and beliefs.

Santiago de Compostela is the most cosmopolitan city in Galicia, with numerous popular celebrations, annual music festivals, cinema and theatre and a multitude of exhibitions.
