Delft, Netherlands (Delft University of Technology)
The 3rd BDS/IDS Conference took place in the main lecture hall of the Delft Chemical Technology Institute DelftChemTech, which is located close to the town center.
Delft is well known for its history as well as for its University of Technology. Van Leeuwenhoek, who invented the optical microscope and the famous 17th painter Vermeer both lived and worked in Delft. The old Delft Blue pottery Royal Delft is situated close to the conference building. The historical and very lively center of Delft with its museums, medieval churches and its quaint streets and canals are attractions to foreign and even local visitors.
