Aloha kākou! 

Welcome to ICOM 2008! 

On behalf of the Organizing Committee, it is my pleasure to welcome you 

to the 8th International Congress on Membranes and Membrane Processes 

(ICOM 2008) held in Honolulu, Hawai’i, from July 12-18, 2008. 

The scientific program consists of 3 plenary lectures by world-renowned 

membrane experts, and more than 800 papers will be presented at the oral 

and poster sessions, including 54 keynote lectures. Six full-day workshops 

on the first two days of the meeting are another highlight of the meeting. 

The social program includes an outdoor welcome reception and a banquet, 

which will both capture the beautiful spirit of the islands of Hawaii. 

We hope that you will enjoy your stay in Honolulu – ALOHA! 

With kind regards,
