Mission
We are the Early Careers Chemical Engineers Section of the European Federation of Chemical Engineers (EFCE). This section aims to inspire, inform, upskill and influence our community members to choose a lifelong career in chemical engineering.
We do this by:
- Advocating and showcasing the importance of this profession in the advancement of society.
- Promoting top-level chemical engineering science developments,
- Sharing innovations in the field,
- Informing about new strategic technologies,
- Discussing interdisciplinary items
- And much more!
We intend for our activities to help forge an active early career committee for our members to develop their present and future capabilities. We do this by bridging the gap for graduates stepping into industry and bringing together the wide range of diverse experiences and interests of Early Career Chemical Engineers through interdisciplinary meetings, conferences and workshops.
