The 2023 IFPRI Powder Flow Workshop was attended by approximately 70 live participants and 40 online registrants. It consisted of seven academic keynote presentations and two industrial talks aimed at inspiring brainstorming discussions on the subject of solids handling, which remain one of the major industrial challenge of our time [1]. To suggest which speakers, discussion leaders and panelists to invite, and to draft questions that the audience should address, the organizers conducted a survey on the interests of IFPRI members.
This report begins with results of the survey. After summarizing keynote presentations and their significance, we provide a synopsis of discussions, and we identify knowledge gaps that should elicit future grants from IFPRI or other funding agencies. The workshop schedule and talks are attached to this document.
