THE 11TH INTERNATIONAL CONFERENCE ON THE OCCURRENCE, PROPERTIES, AND UTILIZATION OF NATURAL ZEOLITES


June 19th-24th, 2022 – ISCHIA (Italy)

THE CONGRESS IS CANCELED!

Further information will be provided as soon as possible

Dear INZA Members,
It is a matter of fact that the development of the organization was quite hard due to the pandemic situation, although we were almost confident in a positive solution. The overlap with an unexpected negative evolution of the geopolitical situation unfortunately gave the “coup de grace” leading most of you to give up your participation in the conference. Actually, we received very few abstracts and even less registration forms filled. These unequivocal facts led the Organizing Committee to conclude that it is unsustainable to continue efforts in the organization. Once the ongoing geopolitical instability would improve, hopefully soon, we will try to gather the council of INZA and its officers and decide how to recover this situation.
I wish to thank you all for your comprehension and I hope you will continue to support the cause of the natural zeolites.

Alessio Langella
