Chemical Engineering conferences

This biennial symposium examines how homogeneous, heterogeneous and enzymatic catalysis can meet pharmaceutical and fine-chemical manufacturing needs. Academic and industrial talks compare stereoselective bond formation, lowering catalyst costs, data science combined with high-throughput experimentation for scalable reactions, perfumery synthesis, earth-abundant metal catalysis and greener biocatalysis. Discussion connects new catalytic methods with process development, industrial constraints and sustainability. Programme participants include Sarah Lee (Korea Advanced Institute of Science and Technology (KAIST)); Beatriz Dominguez (Johnson Matthey); Steven Fussell (Asymchem); Lionel Saudan (DSM); Scott Rice (AstraZeneca); Francesca Paradisi (University of Bern). SCI’s Fine Chemicals Group and RSC’s Applied Catalysis Group organize the in-person meeting at Burlington House, Piccadilly, London W1J 0BA. On 17 November 2026, registration begins at 10:00, welcome remarks at 10:30 and talks at 10:35. Closing remarks are at 17:40 and the reception at 17:45. Times are Europe/London, GMT (UTC+00:00). Early registration through 13 October costs £125 for SCI/RSC members, £145 for non-members, £40 for student members and £75 for unemployed SCI members; later rates are £175, £195, £55 and £105 respectively. Member discounts require eligibility verification. Register Now on the official page offers sign-in or general event registration. One speaker presents remotely; attendee access is in person.

This symposium connects academic and industrial work on automated chemistry, from robotic solid/liquid handling and flow chemistry to reaction monitoring, purification, algorithms and experiment design. Scientific sessions examine automated chemistry data workflows, agentic high-throughput synthesis, kinetic measurements and mechanistic models, data-driven purification and AI-assisted R&D. It serves researchers, students and industrial chemists using automation in organic, medicinal and process chemistry. The 24 November programme has registration at 10:00, opening remarks at 10:30, scientific presentations from 10:35 to 16:10 and a networking reception at 16:15 (London local time, GMT). Early-bird registration ends 27 October: SCI members GBP 105, nonmembers GBP 135 and student members GBP 55. Later rates are GBP 150, GBP 185 and GBP 95 respectively. Event-account registration is available to nonmembers.

This Gordon Research Conference addresses the scientific foundations of carbon management infrastructure. Sessions cover the evolving landscape for carbon capture, utilisation, storage and removal; innovations in carbon capture; systems science for carbon management; carbon dioxide utilisation, transport and storage science; the societal dimensions of scaling carbon management; open-systems science; lessons from deployment; policy innovation; and emerging research directions. The programme reserves time for discussion after each talk, poster sessions open to all career stages and informal exchange; an associated Gordon Research Seminar for early-career scientists runs in conjunction and needs its own application.

The theme Driving Responsible Consumption and Production connects basic and applied research on safer, more resource-efficient chemistry and engineering. Technical sessions examine how chemicals, materials, products and manufacturing systems can be designed, produced, used and recovered sustainably. Workshops, research posters and industry–academic exchanges connect scientific methods with implementation, while a startup showcase explores emerging technologies. Abstract submissions run from 4 January to 15 February 2027.

The 28th IUPAC International Conference on Chemical Thermodynamics addresses thermodynamic research across energy, sustainability, gas hydrates, pharmaceutical materials, phase equilibria, polymers, metals, ionic fluids and complex fluids. Further topics include interfaces, confinement, modelling, simulation and measurement methods. The International Association of Chemical Thermodynamics oversees the biennial series, with FEnEx CRC delivering the Perth edition. Plenary, keynote and contributed presentations combine research talks with questions. Abstract submissions run from 1 December 2026 to 28 February 2027; acceptance notifications are due on 1 May. Early-bird registration runs from 1 April to 31 May, followed by late registration through 7 August 2027.

Held in conjunction with Chemeca 2027, this congress brings chemical-engineering researchers and practitioners together to discuss technologies and research for a secure, sustainable and equitable future. Keynotes, technical sessions, panels, workshops and posters cover advances and challenges in the field and connect academic research with industrial practice. The meeting takes place at The Star Brisbane. Abstracts close on 3 May 2027; authors are notified on 7 June and final abstract papers are due on 30 June. Early-bird registration starts on 1 February, standard pricing starts on 1 July and late pricing on 1 November.
