Euro
Fed Lipid Newsletter June 2009: Abstracts available at the Graz
congress
webpage.
Dear
Reader,
Eurofedlipd, today a federation of 11 scientific
associations in Europe concerned with Lipids, Fats and Oils, is
actively pursuing new memberships from other national organizations as
well as industry. Besides creating a scientific exchange forum
between various academical institutes and scientific organizations,
Eurofedlipid also is involved in the setting up of international
congresses, in the co-organization of the annual fair "oils+fats" and
the publishing of the "European Journal of Lipid Science and
Technology.
In order to extend further its international
character, and broaden its field of interest and activities,
Eurofedlipid would welcome a more active presence of the industry, to
enhance interaction with the different scientific associations. One of
the steps in that direction is the creation of various new divisions,
like for example the processing division, animal nutrition, food
chemistry, oleochemistry and so on. A complete list of the divisions in
the make is available in this newsletter. People, who would be
interested to participate actively in one of these divisions, are also
invited to contact the Eurofedlipid organization.
An
international organization as Eurofedlipid can only achieve its
objectives if supported by a broad basis of both scientific and
industrial members and if the required financial means are made
available. I would therefore like to ask especially the industry to
consider a financial support for the organization so the set objectives
can be realized.
Eurofedlipid invites therefore process technology
providers and oils and fats producers, to become an active corporate
member. The annual conference offers also a good forum for exchanging
ideas and remaining up to date of new and future developments and
furthermore gives industry the chance to become scientifically more
visible.
If you have any suggestions how Eurofedlipid can
attrack you interest and collaboration, or how it can improve the
presence of your organization, please contact our headquarters (Frank
Amoneit, amoneit@eurofedlipid.org.)
I
count on your cooperation,

| What
to do
in Austria? | |
| Austria
is a
top-tourist destination: In 2007, the country ranked
9th worldwide in international tourism receipts, with 18.9 billion US$
The major attractions are all in close range and can be reached
from Graz easily by car or by public transport.
Of
major touristic importance are of course the Austrian skiing, hiking
and mountaineering resorts in the Alps. The same
applies to the numerous Austrian lakes (e.g. Wolfgangsee) and other
lakes in the Salzkammergut east of Salzburg or Wörthersee in Carinthia. Guests
with are more urban attitude may wish to consider to visit Vienna with
its typical "Heurigen" vine pubs or Salzburg, birthplace of Mozart.
Language in Austria
As German is a pluricentric language, Austrian
German is another standard variety in addition to the German spoken in
Germany, much like the relationship between American and British
English.
Austrians will often say "Grüß
Gott!" (literally "greet God!",
meaning "May God bless you") when greeting someone, rather than the
"Guten Tag!" ("[Have a] good day!") used by many Germans. Beside the
official Austrian German, occasionally also Austrian dialects from
various regions are seen in written form, containing a large number of
contractions and abbreviations compared to standard German, which can
be hard to understand for non-native speakers (although the same
applies to German dialects in Germany and Switzerland).
