It is a general belief that the full
potential of the EPD technique for materials processing has not
as yet been fully exploited. This is the main motivation for the
organisation of an international event. This UEF-sponsored conference
will be the very first international event dealing specifically
with EPD as a material processing technique. It will, therefore,
constitute a unique, timely forum for the discussion of EPD relevant
issues among experts from industry and academia active in research
and development in this area.
The conference is endorsed by several societies, including the American Ceramic Society, the European Ceramic Society, the Institute of Materials (London), the Electrochemical Society and the German Materials Society (DGM).

Session Topics
Session topics will include:
Submission of Abstracts
Original papers for presentations at
the above listed sessions are invited. If you wish to be considered
for an oral or poster presentation, please submit a one page
(250 words) abstract by February 28, 2002. Abstracts should be submitted electronically
following the instructions given in
On-line Abstract Submission. If unable to submit the
abstract electronically, please contact the Foundation. All
abstracts will be reviewed by the session chairs.
Graduate students and young investigators
are particularly encouraged to present posters. An evening poster
session will be an integral part of the conference.
If an abstract has multiple authors who each wish
an invitation to attend the conference, each author must submit
a separate application.
Publication of Proceedings
Arrangements are in progress to provide for the publication
of papers that will be presented at the Conference, either as
a special issue of a refereed academic journal or as a separate
conference proceedings book with peer refereeing. Instructions
on submissions of manuscripts will be sent to those whose presentations
have been accepted. All conference participants will receive a
copy of the publication.
Attendance of Conference
Attendance will be limited and by invitation only.
In order to ensure the ability to interact with all participants,
the conference will be limited to about 120 attendees. Any person
wishing to attend the conference must submit an application form
to the United Engineering Foundation by February 28, 2002.
United Engineering Foundation Conferences
United Engineering Foundation Conferences
were established in 1962 to provide an opportunity for the exploration
of problems and issues of concern to engineers from many disciplines.
The format of the Conference provides morning and evening sessions
in which major presentations are made. Time is available during
the afternoons for ad hoc meetings and informal discussions and
is designed to enhance rapport among participants and prompt dialogue
on the developments of the meeting. We believe the Conferences
have been instrumental in generating ideas and disseminating information
to a greater extent than is possible through more conventional
forums. All participants are expected to contribute actively
to the discussions.
United Engineering Foundation Conference
Fellowship Program
The United Engineering
Foundation sponsors a Conference Fellowship Program. Applicants
are limited to those currently active in Engineering or related
professions with a direct interest in the conference topic. They
must be within ten years of their B. Sc. degree at the time their
application is submitted. The stipend is sufficient to cover the
conference registration fee and on-site room and board. Transportation
expenses are not included. Application information may be obtained
from the WWW
or by fax from the Foundation (1-212-591-7441) and must be submitted
by May 18, 2002.

Banff National Park with its scenic
mountains, glaciers, rivers and lakes surrounds the Centre on
all sides and offers truly breathtaking opportunities for outdoor
adventure, wildlife viewing and sightseeing. For those who plan
to extend their stay, popular day-trips are to Lake Louise, the
Icefield Parkway (the highway joining Banff and Jasper National
Parks which runs along a chain of massive icefields and straddles
the continental divide), and Johnston Canyon, the site of waterfalls
and springs. The temperatures in mid August average 20oC
- 25°C, but nights can be significantly cooler. Come prepared!
The town of Banff is 125 kilometers
west of Calgary (approximately a 1-1/2 hour drive) and the Calgary
International Airport. The regular bus (motor coach) services
are available directly from the airport or downtown Calgary.
