11th World Filtration Congress · April 16 – 20, 2012 Graz – Austria
Congress Welcome
As Chairman of the WFC11 and on behalf of the
Austrian Chemical Society – Gesellschaft
Österreicher Chemiker, GÖCH – I have pleasure
in welcoming you to the 11th World Filtration
Congress in GRAZ, AUSTRIA, APRIL 16-20,
2012. The Austrian Chemical Society has a long
tradition in organising major national and international events and we will work hard to organise a unique event for
the world wide filtration and separation community.
The WFC11 in Austria will embrace the international F&S community
five days from Monday to Friday. The first day is foreseen for 4 technical SHORT COURSES presented by leading experts. Three and a
half days are planned for the technical CONGRESS and EXHIBITION.
More than 350 technical presentations are expected and a major
international Exhibition featuring 100 exhibitors from the world wide
filtration and separation industry as well as manufacturers of particle
measurement instruments and equipment of related industries.
The afternoon of the last day is reserved for a post-congress PLANT
TOUR to the ANDRITZ Headquarter in Graz followed by a wine
tasting tour. On the tour you will be introduced to major workshops
and the manufacturing process at ANDRITZ. After that participants
can enjoy the beautiful landscape of Styria and relax at the wine
tasting tour to the 300 year year-old Episcopal Seggau Castle.
In GRAZ, a Unesco World Heritage Site, the Mediterranean atmosphere
of the Old Town, the striking modern architecture and the great cultural diversity together create a unique and fascinating mix. As Graz
is located in a valley surrounded by mountains, with the river Mur
flowing through the heart of the City you will enjoy its mild spring
climate. In 2003 the City of Graz was Europe’s Cultural Capital and
it offers delegates and visitors alike a unique experience in art, culture
and history in a warm and welcoming atmosphere. It is also ideally
situated to offer interesting sightseeing visits within short distances.
The new international airport Graz-Thalerhof with its domestic and
international flights is located only 10km from the new Congress
Venue. The Central Railway Station has both Austrian and international
connections with fast and frequent services to the Capital Vienna.
We look forward to welcoming you to the 11th World Filtration
Congress in Austria!

11th World Filtration Congress · April 16 – 20, 2012 Graz – Austria
Graz – The Cultural Capital
Exhibition
Graz - World Heritage Site and the second largest City in Austria with
250.000 inhabitants – was selected as it meets the needs for a successful WFC11 in every way. Situated southeast from the Alps between
Central Europe, Italy, and the Balkan States, Graz stands out with its
Mediterraneanclimate, its historically influenced town scape, and the
beautiful surrounding landscape.
WFC11 will feature a major Exhibition of filtration and separation
equipment and services over three days from Tuesday to Thursday. It is
the largest and most important Filtration Event in 2012 world-wide.
Exhibitors from the world-wide filtration and separation industry,
manufacturers of particle measurement instruments as well as related
industries will feature the latest innovations and technology.
Graz is located in the very heart of Europe - this is of benefit to all
participants, who will be able to reach Austria and Graz easily either
by plane, car or train.
The Exhibition will be open to WFC11 visitors and delegates
from April 17-19, 2012.
Central Europe’s best preserved City
wasn’t added to the UNESCO list of
the World Cultural Heritage for no
reason. Here you’ll find Renaissance,
Gothic and Baroque and ultramodern architecture in blissful harmony.
The messecenter Graz – located directly in the City Centre – is
Austria’s most modern Centre for Congresses & Exhibitions. The
WFC11 Exhibition will be in direct proximity to the Congress. Stands
are alotted on as first come – first serve basis.
Attractive "Shell Scheme Stand Packages" are available for exhibiting
Companies.

In Summer 2011 Graz was also appointed UNSECO City of Design.
The Old Town of Graz – Exuding Southern Charm
Since the middle Ages, a friendly and prosperous town has been
growing around the Schlossberg hill; a town cherished by its inhabitants. In fact, it was the unique ensemble of architectural styles spanning
from Gothic, Baroque, Renaissance, Art Nouveau to modernity that
made UNESCO add Graz to its World Cultural Heritage list. In the
narrow lanes, on the bustling plazas and in the tranquil inner courtyards: the relaxed Mediterranean atmosphere can be felt everywhere
in this charming City.
