Delegates’ Survey
Drawing on the combined expertise and market knowledge of the international conference audience present at the European Coatings Conference “Food contact coatings”, an anonymous online survey will be carried through among all conference participants a few days before the event. In this way, some light will be shed on the considerations of this leading assembly regarding the current market and research situation as well as future expectations for fire retardant coatings systems. The results of the survey will be presented at the conference opening.
