16/09/2019
German leather chemicals association VGCT and Freiberg-based leather research body FILK have issued a first call for papers for the ninth Freiberg Leather Days event, which will take place in the east German city on June 18 and 19, 2020.

The joint organisers said on issuing the call that they wanted the conference to be “an informative and interesting meeting place for the European tanning and leather industry”.

In particular, they said they hoped to hear from prospective speakers with ideas for presentations on alternative technologies for leather production, sustainable raw materials, innovative processing technologies, automation and machinery and artisan tanneries in the age of Industry 4.0.

Interested parties have until January 31 to submit their ideas.
