WELCOME TO PYROLISIS 2004

Dear colleagues:

        The XVI International Symposium on Analytical and Applied Pyrolysis will be held in Alicante,
        Spain, May 23-27, 2004. The Scientific Committee is very pleased to invite all researchers
        interested in these topics to attend this meeting and is working hard to continue along the
        successful lines of the previous events. We strongly believe that this is a unique opportunity to
        boost the knowledge and the application of the pyrolysis processes and to find the possibility of
        close cooperation among research groups.

        The topics under discussion include eight different sections covering all fundamental issues,
        instrumental developments and applications, industrial processes and miscellaneous applications.
        The selected plenary lectures will be an excellent introduction to the oral and poster presentations,
        where we encourage you to present your latest advances and ideas. The discussion sessions,
        following the corresponding presentations and lectures, are intended as interesting and informal
        opportunities to comment on the different contributions and obtain improved conclusions.

        We are looking forward to meeting you and your companions in spring 2004 in Alicante, where you
        will enjoy the magnificent weather and beaches of this nice and friendly Mediterranean city of the
        south-east of Spain.

                                                   The Organising Committee
