Dear Participants on the 1st Annual Conference of EGNATON in Darmstadt,

We like to say thank you for your attendance. A conference is always as good as the participants and the lecturers are. The response was great and unexpectedly very positive. Our speakers fully met the requirements of the visitors.

With respect to the many discussions in the forum and between the visitors we are confirmed with the selection of the speakers. Sustainability represents many disciplines, trades and skills that are hardly been covered from one person or even organization. Therefore we offered a wide variety of issues and topics presented on the lectures.

The attendees affirmed us strongly to proceed on this way and take care on behalf of the many aspects of sustainability. Thank you for your beneficial advices and hints for the next conferences and seminars. We will take each comment under consideration.

Again we like to open the door for everybody to attend the association and ask for your expertise in the working groups.

Short abstracts will be available on our web site soon as well as the full lectures with exclusive access for participants only.

Best wishes and a successful engagement on your way to gain sustainable laboratories.
