International Drying Symposium (IDS)

As the global community of academics and industrial researchers in drying science and technology already knows, Professor Arun Mujumdar – then a junior faculty member at McGill University, Montreal, Canada – established the widely acclaimed biennial International Drying Symposium series in 1978. His vision and mission was to provide a truly global forum for the exchange of knowledge about drying and disseminate it widely. Indeed, IDS helped develop and enhance awareness of the crucial importance of in-depth knowledge of drying science and technology. This process was further enhanced by Prof. Mujumdar’s co-founding of other continental, national and regional conferences devoted to drying e.g. Inter-American Drying Conference, Asia-Pacific Drying Conference, WFCFD (India), Middle Eastern Drying Conference, Nordic Drying Conference, etc. He also presented numerous workshops and seminars in over 50 countries.
The Drying Technology journal also emerged in 1982 out of three successful IDS meetings. Prof. Mujumdar also led the effort in initiating and editing the journal despite the low level of research interest at the time in this field. Readers can find a listing of several major drying literature resources which Prof. Mujumdar has developed over a period of some 40 years that can be found at the link given below.
Interested readers are invited to visit reports on various IDS and ADC conferences published in Drying Technology journal.

Dear IDS 2020 Participants,

Due to global concerns regarding COVID-19 (coronavirus) and how it may impact travel and participants’ health and well-being, the IDS 2020 organizers, in consultation with Professor Arun Mujumdar, have made the difficult decision to postpone IDS 2020 to the year 2021.  The new dates for IDS 2021 will be posted on the website (https://wp.wpi.edu/ids2020/) as soon as they get confirmed. If you have already paid a registration fee for IDS 2020, it will be refunded and no action will be needed on your part.

New abstracts/paper submissions for IDS 2021 will be opened in the Fall of 2020.

If you have made lodging reservations for IDS 2020, please remember to cancel them.  We will cancel the requests for on-campus housing and no action will be required on your part.
