Welcome to the IDS'26
Strategies for Reducing the Carbon Footprint of Drying in a Resource-Constrained World
2026 International Drying Symposium
IDS series was established by Professor Arun S. Mujumdar at McGill University in Montreal, Canada in 1978.
IDS 2026 will focus on current and future challenges of the drying/dewatering domain. We aim to provide the most advanced and comprehensive global forum for academia and industry. The conference will be structured by four key pillars (simulation and IA, use of intermittent energy, biosourced products and new technologies), to meet the challenges of sustainable development: energy saving, product saving, cost reduction, flexibility, adaptability…
This event will be co-organized by two French « Grandes Ecoles d’ingénieurs » of the prestigious Université Paris-Saclay: CentraleSupélec and AgroParisTech.
The conference aims to bring together world-renowned researchers and engineers from both academia and industry in a unique university environment. An Awards program for the international drying community will also be part of the event.
