Peru's capital city of Lima will host, for the first time, the 7th International Conference on Production Research / American Region, one of the leading conferences promoting research in the fields of production research and industrial engineering.
Organized by the International Foundation on Production Research (IFPR) and the Lima-based Private University Norbert Wiener, the event is scheduled to take place at the Westin Convention Center Hotel from July 30th through August 2nd, 2014.
The four-day event will offers a platform to discuss and promote latest project results and provides a forum for inter-disciplinary knowledge transfer.
Marino Morikawa, Peruvian scientist internationally renowned for his decontamination work in lake El Cascajo, will be one of the keynote speakers at this conference, which is expected to gather over 130 outstanding scientists and researchers from all over the world, as well as entrepreneurs and government authorities.
The International Conference on Production Research (ICPR) was launched at the University of Birmingham, England, in 1971. Since then, the event has been held each year in a different country, thus constituting an invaluable opportunity for the exchange of scientific experiences; and mostly contributing to the growth of the private sector in the participating countries.
The conference’s central theme will be: "Toward a Sustainable Eco-Industrialization through Applied Knowledge". Participants will attend key conferences as well as the presentation of research works focused on five main topics: food, health, entertainment, extraction, climate change and water scarcity.
The research works come from Germany, Argentine, Brasil, Chile, Colombia, Cuba, Philippines, Japan, Mexico, Portugal, United Kingdom, United States and Peru.
