We are engineering a sustainable world
IChemE is delighted to be organising the 2027 European Congress of Chemical Engineering and European Congress of Applied Biotechnology. Building upon the success of previous events, you are warmly invited to join us in Edinburgh.
As chair of the organising committee, I am excited to lead a team that will bring together inspiring plenary speakers, cutting-edge research and industry practitioners to share ideas and insight.
I am determined to ensure that every attendee will leave the conference full of ideas, knowledge and connections.
Edinburgh has also been my home for more than 25 years and I know first-hand how much this wonderful city has to offer. I look forward to sharing it with you in September 2027.
