International Conference for Dispersion Analysis & Materials Testing 2024

In 2024, LUM GmbH hosts the next, now traditional International Conference for Dispersion Analysis & Materials Testing.
Due to popular demand the conference will again take place at the ABACUS Tierpark Hotel in Berlin.
The exact conference dates are June 10 - 11 2024.
Additional practical shortcourses will take place at the LUM headquarters in Berlin-Adlershof on June 12.
The shortcourse is considered a further training measure for employees of certified companies (DIN ISO 9001 and other relevant).
