The entry regarding the ILASS academic organization provides partial info regarding the organization, and thus I'd like to suggest to add some more historical details, as well as some info regarding the founding figures of this academic, non-profit organization.

The ILASS (Institution of Liquid Atomization and Spraying Systems) organization is an international organization dedicated to the advancement of knowledge and technology in the field of liquid atomization and spray systems.

The ILASS global organization has 3 branches: ILASS-Europe, ILASS-Americas and ILASS Asia. ILASS-Europe was the first to be established, and was founded in 1982 as initiative of the late Prof. Paul Eisenklam. The first Annual General Meeting took place at UMIST 1983. The institute’s objectives have remained unchanged since that time: “… to promote the science and applications of liquid atomization and spray systems by means of sponsorship of annual scientific meetings, promotion and preparation of technical papers, and promotion of membership in ILASS Europe among interested and qualified persons…”

Prof. Norman Chigier, one of the leaders of the atomization and spraying systems community and the ILASS organization founded in 1991 the Atomization and Sprays Journal that focuses publishing, peer-reviewed papers on the topics that are central to ILASS.

ILASS organizes conferences, and symposia annually in each of its branches, when every 3 years, the entire community is gathered in a larger conference, entitled ICLASS (International Conference of Liquid Atomization and Spraying Systems).

Three awards are granted each conference, honoring Professor Paul Eisenklam, Professor Arthur H. Lefebvre, and Professor Y. Tanasawa.
