This number includes participants of the Freiberg Leather Days, who will join the congress on Thursday and Friday. Delegates from Germany form the largest national group of participants, which is common for the hosting country.
This is followed by China, Italy, the United Kingdom, Switzerland, the Netherlands, Austria, India, Brazil, France and Argentina.
In March, the organisers launched an appeal to encourage companies in the leather supply chain to ‘sponsor a scientist’ to allow students preparing to become leather technologists and chemists who were unable to raise the funds on their own to travel to Germany in June for the congress. They have said that this campaign was successful and that 70 people will receive the required assistance to attend.
People interested in attending the event have until June 14 to register online.
