About the Conference
The organizing committee warmly welcomes you to participate in the 22nd International Drying Symposium (IDS 2021), founded by Professor Arun S. Mujumdar at McGill University in Montreal, Canada in 1978.
Scope
Similar to the previous biennial IDS conferences, the objective of IDS 2021 is to provide the most advanced and comprehensive global forum for disseminating results and data in research, development and applications in drying/dewatering sciences and technologies. This Symposium will be held on the main campus of Worcester Polytechnic Institute (WPI) and co-hosted by the University of Illinois. The conference aims to bring together world-renowned researchers and engineers, both from academia and industry, in this university environment. An Awards program will also form part of the event for the international drying community.
