CLARION CONGRESS HOTEL PRAGUE
CZECH REPUBLIC
Organised by
ETCC in Prague for the first time in FATIPEC'S over 75-year history!
Join your colleagues and partners at the European Technical Coatings Congress in the capital of the Czech Republic. For the first time in the history of the congresses of FATIPEC.
For three days at ETCC in Prague, we will deal with everything related to research, formulations, production, applications, and testing of coatings and share our knowledge and experience. The event is organised by the Czech chemical society and FATIPEC and supported by Congress Partners and Sponsors.
The congress will be held under the auspices of Libor Capek, Rector of the University of Pardubice, and Petr Nemec, Dean of the Faculty of Chemical Technology.
Come to visit Prague – a magnificent guide to the history of European architecture, from the Gothic period to the present day. Cathedrals and temples, small churches, dozens of historic city towers, all contoured by beautiful historical gardens and parks.
...and Let's make the world more colourful!
