Chemical engineering, biotechnology and bioprocessing are more important than ever to meet current challenges thus as climate change, circular economy or pharmaceutical production.
To enable an international scientific exchange despite restrictions that are expected to be still in place in September 2021, the 13th European Congress of Chemical Engineering and 6th European Congress of Applied Biotechnology from 20-23 September 2021 will go virtual!
The submission deadline has been extended to 15 March for presentations and 31 March for posters. For further information please have a look at the section Call for Papers/Topics.
We will exploit the opportunities a virtual event offers to stimulate a truly European and global dialogue among scientists from industry, university and research institutions from Europe and beyond. Promoting interdisciplinary exchange and the transfer from research to industrial applications, ECCE and ECAB cover the whole range of relevant topics from laboratory research via process development and chemical reaction engineering to challenges from industrial practice and overarching topics such as quality management and education. A virtual poster exhibition with opportunities for discussion, interactive workshops and panel discussions as well as high-ranking plenary presentations complement the scientific program.
