NEWS February 2026:
A Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) between EFCE and the Asian Pacific Confederation of Chemical Engineering (APCChE) has been entered into effect as of 31 July 2025. The cooperation between EFCE and APCChE includes:
a) Exchange of information about scientific activities (conferences, workshops, webinars, etc) and on new and latest developments related to the Chemical Engineering field;
b) Promotion of activities of common interest on occasion of major events, like ECCE/ECAB in Europe and APCChE in Asia Pacific, like proposals of participation of Plenary Speakers at the conferences, which remain subject to approval by relevant organization committees, .as well development of side events on specific themes, etc.;
c) Promotion of participation to training sessions or seminars or webinars or summer schools, with particular focus on Process Safety, Innovation, Sustainability and Carbon Neutrality, Food, and Circular Economy;
