IQPC is delighted to announce the dates for the 5th Annual SmartLabs Exchange 2010, taking place on 17th – 18th March, in Brussels, Belgium.

Smart Labs brings together senior level professionals from across the pharmaceutical, petrochemical, cosmetic and FMCG industries, as well as selected market-leading solution providers.

Representatives from these industries are responsible for informatics and data management initiatives ranging across organisational boundaries and laboratory functions. The Smart Labs exchange format offers invitees the opportunity to attend sessions focussing on research and development, quality, and processing laboratories, and back-end information systems and infrastructure.

For almost a decade now, nanotechnologies have moved out from laboratories to the industrial world and nowadays, “nano’s” are part of our citizen life. With the organization of the ECNF we want to provide an exchange platform to experts integrating nanotechnologies into surface properties.

From the synthesis of nanoparticles up to the mass production of nanocoatings, this multisession symposium aims to promote exchanges and linkage between scientific and industrials players. Today more than ever, this collaboration is fundamental to answer current and future technological needs of the society.

The use of nanofilms increases lifetime of mechanical parts and reduces lubricants usage. Integrated in solar panels, nanofilms produce green energy. Medical implants are now safer and last longer thanks to nanocoatings. These are just some illustrations out of many, along with catalysis, sensors, and more.

We hope to welcome you at the first ECNF Conference where we will share recent scientific advances and foster research networking in the rapidly evolving domain of nanofilms.

The ECNF will organize technical talks, poster sessions, as well as thematic round tables, where we will  provide you with a convivial atmosphere and numerous networking opportunities.

Business ethics, high profile fraud incidents and corporate blunders over the last few years have intensified the need for European companies to strengthen their GRC initiatives. Faced with budget cuts, unregulated markets and undefined compliance models, organisations are challenged with the daunting task of mitigating against risk and developing comprehensive governance and compliance policies.

It is now imperative that organisations react to the downward pressure of global regulations and by sourcing the right technologies, understanding innovative training systems and leveraging cost effective solutions, Chief Compliance Officers can lead their companies culture and pioneer a high level of corporate compliance.

C5’s Advanced Forum on Global Customs Compliance is the must-attend event customs and trade compliance officers of multinational companies rely on.

Focus on light commercial vehicles
In uneven years the focus of the Brussels` Motor Show is on light commercial vehicles: vans in all their shapes and sizes. It is no different this time. But recreational vehicles are also given the attention they deserve.

Room for all innovations
Vans and recreational vehicles are the core of the forthcoming Show, but the show regulations allow all previews to be shown, regardless of the category in which they fall. This gives the visiting public a glimpse of everything that`s new in carland for the year of 2009.

Two wheels, two halls
Scooters and motorbikes are becoming increasingly popular, and also have a prominent presence at the Show in halls 1 and 3. From small city scooters to luxury touring bikes, every possible variation of motorbike can be found there, as well as equipment for motorbikes and riders, components, accessories and services.

The 4x4 track, a formula for success
SUVs or 4x4s remain highly popular. The market is moving strongly in the direction of smaller SUVs with lighter and more economical engines, but that continue to offer the dynamic exterior and the driving properties of SUVs.
