Dear
Colleague,
The ninth
Euro Fed
Lipid congress brings us to the city of Rotterdam. Is there any better
location in Europe than Rotterdam to host the Euro Fed Lipid congress?
The Rotterdam harbour is the main entry point of fats and oils into
Europe. Large storage capacities and also 25% of the European refining
capacity can be found in the Rotterdam area. Furthermore, a long list
of analytical laboratories, innovation and research centres and fat and
oils consuming industries complete the picture of Rotterdam as the
"European Capital of Fats and Oils". The boat tour through the
Rotterdam harbour, scheduled for Monday evening, will give you the
opportunity to judge yourself.
The two
main themes
of the congress are Health and Sustainability. Next to our regular
Health session there will be a symposium especially designed to
comprehensively discuss the subject of saturated fatty acids in
nutrition. Also sustainability, for the first time explicitly in the
programme, gets significant attention with a very divers group of
speakers. Many more interesting sessions complete the programme.
The
programme we have
put together and the venue will again give ample opportunity to network
and stimulate fruitful discussions at the interface of science and
technology, research and application.
It is our
pleasure to
invite you to join us in downtown Rotterdam for this sparkling Euro Fed
Lipid congress.

Rotterdam
Rotterdam
with 580.000 inhabitants is the second largest city in the Netherlands,
after the capital Amsterdam. Rotterdam
is situated on the banks of the river Nieuwe Maas ('New
Meuse'), one of the channels in the delta formed by the Rhine and Meuse
rivers.
Rotterdam
was founded in the mid 13th century after a dam had been constructed in
the River Rotte. Rotterdam received municipal rights in 1340. Over
the centuries Rotterdam grew from a fishing village into an
international centre of trade, transport, industry and distribution.

In
the Second
World War the city centre was devastated. Now, many
years later, a new, modern city centre has risen from the ashes. The
avant-garde architecture is
famous at home and abroad.
The
city is unlike Holland's other cities. Its international orientation as
a port and the regeneration of its city centre have made Rotterdam a
business city
without parallel with outstanding architecture and delightful culture. It is a city with an
abundance of
attractions, festivals and museums. A swinging, young city with
excellent
shopping facilities, restaurants and cafes. Rotterdam is also home
to the
Dutch half of Consumer Goods company
Unilever
and its
research center
in Vlaardingen (a suburb of Rotterdam).
|
The
port of Rotterdam is the largest in Europe and was the
world's busiest
port from 1962 to 2004, until it was overtaken by Shanghai.
The
port's main activities
are petrochemical industries and general cargo handling and
transshipment. The harbour functions as an important transit point for
bulk materials between the European continent and overseas. From
Rotterdam goods are transported by ship, river barge, train or
road. Being the ''Gateway to Europe'' Rotterdam has a hinterland of 500
million inhabitants. |

The
windmills of Kinderdijk (15 km east of Rotterdam) are one of the best
known Dutch tourist sites. They were placed on the list of UNESCO list
of World Heritage Sites in 1997.
Kinderdijk
is
situated in a polder at the confluence of the Lek
and Noord rivers.
To drain the
polder, a system of 19 windmills was built around 1740. This group of
mills is the largest concentration of old windmills in the Netherlands.
|
|
Flood
control is an important
issue for the Netherlands as about two thirds of the
country is vulnerable to flooding while at the same time the country is
among the most densely populated on earth.
Natural
sand dunes
and man made dikes, dams and floodgates provide the defense against
storm surges from sea. River dikes prevent flooding from water flowing
into the country by the major rivers Rhine and Meuse, while a
complicated system of drainage ditches, canals and pumping stations
(historically: windmills) keep the low lying parts dry for habitation
and agriculture.
Water control boards are the
independent
local government bodies responsible for maintaining this system. In
modern times flood disasters coupled with technological development
have led to large construction works to reduce the influence of the sea
and prevent future floods.
