International conference on Fluidized Bed Combustion
After the successful 18th FBC conference which was held in Toronto May 2005 the steering committee agreed to follow up with the 19th FBC conference already in May 2006. After then it is planned to fall into a three-year cycle similar to other conferences in the area of fluidized bed technology. It is a great honor and pleasure for us to host the 19th FBC conference which will take place for its first time outside of North America. I wish all of the participants, authors, contributors, exhibitors a very fruitful and exciting conference as well as a wonderful stay in Vienna.
