The 12th World Congress of Chemical Engineering and the 21st Asian Pacific Confederation of Chemical Engineering Congress (WCCE 12 & APCChE 2025) opened Monday at the China National Convention Center in Beijing.
The event brings together more than 5,000 professionals and representatives, including top scientists, industry leaders, and business elites from 66 countries across six continents, to forge academia- technology-industry exchange and integration in the chemical engineering sector, and share cutting-edge technologies and innovative achievements to promote the sector's development.
This is the first time that the WCCE and APCChE congresses are jointly held in China. The event aims to interpret the future direction of the global chemical engineering sector from a worldwide perspective. By building a new platform for international exchange that integrates global vision, cross-disciplinary collaboration and cross-regional cooperation, the event seeks to advance the development and integration of the global chemical engineering sector.
The five-day event, revolving around four main topics, comprises various activities including two high-level plenaries, 34 parallel sessions and over 900 cutting-edge presentations.
During the event, the "Beijing Initiative: Embracing Paradigm Shifts, Forging Smart Innovation for a Green Future" will be released, calling for global consensus on jointly addressing challenges such as climate change and energy transformation, and on building a sustainable future for chemical engineering.
