International Microencapsulation Society
15th International Symposium on
MICROENCAPSULATION
Parma, 18-21 September 2005

15th International Symposium on
MICROENCAPSULATION
Microencapsulation is the process whereby small
(macro, micro and nano size), discrete, solid
particles liquid droplets are surrounded or
enclosed by an intact shell. The aim of the
Symposium is to review, update and discuss all
the aspects of the science and technology of
microencapsulated particulate systems as they are
applied to medical, pharmaceutical, veterinary,
food, cosmetic and consumer products. The
symposium will focus on microencapsulation
techniques and applications such as Spray
drying Prilling Extrusion Lipid
technology Polymerization Coating
Solvent evaporation Emulsion techniques
Supercritical fluids Cyclodextrins and
inclusion compounds Micro/Nanoparticles
Microcapsules Liposomes Drug delivery
Drug therapy Gene therapy Bio
encapsulation. The Symposium will present an
opportunity to show and share research
achievements, to learn of innovations and novel
developments in the field and to interact with
distinguished world leaders and young innovators.

The Interuniversity Consortium TEFARCO Innova and
the Univerity of Parma invite you to attend the
15th International Symposium on
Microencapsulation that will be held in Parma
from 18th to 21st September 2005. Parma with its
food, drug, cosmetic and animal feed companies,
all deeply involved in microencapsulation,
presents the appropriate scientific environment
for the conference. The culture, art and life
style of the city will constitute an added
attraction for the Symposium venue.
Parma
PARMA, located in the North of Italy, is a city
traditionally rated for its culture and art. The
historic city centre has monuments like the
Romanesque cathedral, frescoed by Correggio, and
the octagonal baptistery sculpted by Benedetto
Antelami. Parma is associated with important
musicians such as Paganini, Verdi, Pizzetti and
Toscanini.
Parma is the capital of the Italian food
industry, world famous for its products and in
particular for Parma ham and Parmesan cheese.

Consortium TEFARCO Innova
The Interuniversity Consortium on Innovative
Pharmaceutical Technologies is a collaborative
effort among ten Italian Universities. The main
aims are to coordinate basic applied research in
the field of pharmaceutical technologies, to
provide support in design, production and
application of new drug delivery systems, to
organize programs for scientific education and to
propose initiatives for professional training in
technological areas of drugs and cosmetics. lt
