We as ILPS would like to wish you all good health and prosperity in 2014.
First ILPS would like to use this opportunity to bring the new ILPS website www.ilps.org under your attention.
The International Lecithin and Phospholipid Society (ILPS) was recently registered as a not-for-profit association in Cologne, Germany. Originally ILPS was incorporated in 1991 in the USA. The ILPS Board and Membership decided to transfer the Society registration to Europe, since most ILPS events are organized in Europe. ILPS consists of corporate and private members from Academia, Institutes and Industry in the Food, Cosmetic, Pharmaceutical and Technical sectors.
Members representing the founding companies signed the By-laws /Statutes on
September 26, 2013 as an important event for the legal registration.
ILPS closely works together with the AOCS Phospholipid Division and other professional associations.
The Goals of the ILPS
Promoting cooperation and exchange of ideas at international level between scientists and technologists.
Organizing and sponsoring scientific conferences, symposia, educational courses and ring trials (round robins).
