EUROPEAN FEDERATION OF CHEMICAL ENGINEERING REPORT OF THE TRUSTEES forthe year ended 31 D•eemb•r 2021 KEY ACHEVEMENTS DURING 2021 In 2021, scientkfie cooperatlon ané piofesslonal exchange was stlll affected by COVID-19 related restrlctions in many Etjyopean countries. The digital tools already used to cope with Ihe pandemic in 2020 became even more RnportAnt in 2021. The main sci8ntth¢ 8V8nl in Europe for chemic81 engl￿er1Th9, th8 joint European Conference on Chemical Englneering J Europaan Confaranc* for Appliad Btot8chnology. had to ba hèld fully onling. since hygSene requirements and high levels of uncertainty mad8 an iTrperson event irnPOS5ible. It is credit lo the dedication of the organisers and scientffic volunteers that thg avent was Successfully moved from irtrperson to virtual in a matter of weeks, all¢y*ing EFCE and ESBES to deliver a succ&ssfvl online conference under the headline of 'Engine8ring th8 Future". The spe¢tnJm ¢)f topics ranged from raw materials and their availability - including C02 - to Ihe handling of energy and water resources and dèèp into the del8ils of proe8ss ÈnginÈèring. ECCEIECAB 2021 was 8190 host to thè first èV8r EFCE Scianc8 Slam, vthich wa5 won by Sofia Garcia Fracaro presenting 'lmmersive techndogies applied for training of opwatt)r5 ifb th8 ¢hemirAI industry".

A major EFCE re5earth PToject, the EFCE European Skills Base Survey. wa5 completed in 2021. Rdiable 5tstistical data for a subSect as dlsunct as chemical engineedng is difficult to axtract from the gov@mm8nt or consullng databases,. e.g. for Gerrnany, EFCE together Ihe national organisations ProcessNet and Oechema had to run its own 3urvey ¢1 73 universities offering chemi￿1 and biTrchemci81 engineering or sirnilar le.g. enwronrnent81 engineering, brewing technology) courses.

The European Federation of Chemical Enginegring IEFCE) has pmmoted cooperation In Europ8 and elsewhere between non-profit making professional scientific aThJ technical societies since 1953. In 2014 EFCE was registered as a Charitable Incorporated Or9anisation ICIOI to help it foster the general 8dvancement of sclence and education of the public in chemical engineering. In addition, we support the development of chemical engineering in cdlaboralion wth our rnember sodeties. EFCE encourages progress in chemical engineering through facilitsting the exchange of informatiw and opinion in m99tings. congresses and journals. supporbng leading iesearchers and emergin9 talent through medals and prize9. and enabling indu8th"alists an¢J acadomts from acr<>ss Europe to discuss topics of common concem.
