Thanks for attending the ORBIT 2006 Conference ORBIT 2006, a major step into the realm of organic materials of this world; the organic materials that for a long time have been regarded only as a cumbersome residue, as waste. Organic materials outgrow this shadowy existence in the light of devastations, demand for renewable energies, unequal distribution of nutrients and the demand for renewable resources. Following the tradition of its predecessors, ORBIT 2006 was dealing intensively with the biomass resource. The traditional subjects of composting and anaerobic digestion were presented together with various matters dealing with technology and product quality. The new aspect included addressing the complex issues of sustainable energy recovery from biomass and the need for a strategy for the preservation of the humus content world-wide, especially in the endangered zones with devastation tendencies. While the scientific discussion and the presentation of the newest research findings were in the foreground of the ORBIT conference, the involvement of the Compost Quality Assurance Organisation and the ECN in ORBIT 2006 guaranteed the linkage to the political and professional daily life. The ECN, in particular, provided and presented the European experience. High technology on the one side and the demand for affordable primary technologies on the other side. The traditionally well-attended session Technologies for Developing Countries was again included in the programme. For the first time the ORBIT took place in coordination with the JORA and the SARDINIA conferences. A step towards more expertise and world-wide impact. The Bauhaus University Weimar, Germany, hosted the ORBIT 2006. We, the organizers, are very glad to welcome you to the next ORBIT in September 2008 and we promise you again an interesting programme and many stimulating discussions. |
