PPEPPD Inc. was established in 2016 as Canadian national not-for-profit company to support, plan, organize and administer the Property and Phase Equilibria for Product and Process Design (PPEPPD) series of conferences, held every three years in participating countries.
PPEPPD Inc. will also perform basic fundraising for the planning, organization and administration of the conference series.
From its inception in Asilomar, USA in 1977, until and including Porto, Portugal in 2016, the PPEPPD conference series was supported by an ad hoc committee of dedicated academic and industrial researchers to whom we owe a great debt of gratitude.
From 2017, PPEPPD Inc. will formalize the relationships, responsibilities, and finances and be the corporate body for the now global PPEPPD community.
