EUROPEAN FEDERATION OF CHEMICAL ENGINEERING REPORT OF THE TRUSTEES for tho y￿r ended 31 Docombor 2024 Key Achievements during 2024 Founded in 1953. the European Federation of Chemical Engineering (EFCE) promotes cooperation betsveen noTrprofit making professional sGienlific and technical societies, and supports the development of chemical engineering in partnership with its national member societies. In 2014, EFCE wa5 registered as a Charitable InCo￿Orated Organisation ICIO) to help it foster the gèneral advancement of sctence and education of the public in chèmical engineering. EFCE achieves its goals by tscilitating the exchange of information and opinion in meetings, congrèsses and joumals. supporting leading researchers and em8rging talenl through medals and prizes, and enabling industrialists and a¢ademics from across Europe to dSscuss topics of Common concèm. 2024 had a full schedule of scientific Conferen￿$. seminars. workshops, etc. Some of them had record attendance: the ESCAPE-341 PSE-24 conference, organised by the Computer-Aid8d Pro￿$5 Engineèring Working Party in Florence, had the best tumout ever for an ESCAPE conference. While most activity has returned to be face to face, EFCE maintains some online activities, which hava many advantages in terms of time. cost, envircnmenlal impact and inclusivity. and which make EFCE events more accessible to people vtho may not be able to attend in-per50n events. In 2024, this included the Spotlight Talk webinar series, whith took place in spring and autumn and featured a range of tOPiCS selected by Working Parties (WPS) and Sections. Recordings of the webinars are now available to all on the EFCE YouTube channel. Many thanks to EFCE'S Scientific Secretariat led by Dr. marts.ne Poux, who coordinates the Spotlight Talk$ from inception lo publication. In December, the 5th European Forum on New Téchnologies (EFNT) took pla￿ in Paris, dedicated to Artificial Intdligence in Chemical Engineering and industrial applications of Al. The Forum was very well attended, especially by industry. The Ihree final round table discussions on topics suggested by participants were highly engaging and saw strong audience partiapation. Many thanks to Dr. Martine Poux, EFCE'S scientific vice president, Prof. Boèlo Schuur and the French member organisation SFGP for organising such a successful event. Page 1

EUROPEAN FEDERATION OF CHEMICAL ENGINEERING REPORT OF THE TRUSTEES for the year ended 31 Do¢embor 2024 OBJECTIVES AND ACTIVITIES Extemal Engagèment Su8Chom Suschem is the European Plattomi for Sustainable Chemisty, and an EFCE trustee is a member of bts Board. Suschem has members from m05t major European chemical$ companies and close collaboration with several Directorale$ of the European Commission. It continue5 its role on the Commission's Task Force on the Transition Pathway for the Chemical Industry and promoting the Safe and Sustainable by Design framework. The Commission's new approach for an Industrial Green Deal aiming for both a )Inancially and environmentally sustainable chemical industry has been welcomed. As a key plank of its brokerage role for encouraging collaboratrve R&D in the Chemistry sector Suschem held a stakeholder event 'Celebrating 20 Years of sustainab￿ Chémistry & Future Directions, in Sept 2024 in Brussels. It included a panel debate on What are ihe Chemi¢al Se¢tols needs for FP10?' The panel agreed that true competitiveness relies on investments, skills, innovation, and collaboration, especially in the face of the current political, climate, and economic challenge. This requires maximising efficiency of resour¢e$ across the fijll supply chain. FP10 should have an emphasis on public private partnerships and therè is a need for faster approvals and more streamlined Jnding mech8nisms. The Board has been considering the future role of Suschem and also its govemance Structure. It has a distindive role in the chemicals seGtor bringing together companies (large and small). research 8nd technology org8ni8alions, academia, professional organisations (such as EFCE). Directorates from the European Commission and a suitè of National Technology Platforms to bring in national and regional vièws. It was felt that thi5 needs to be better represented in thé Board membership. Suschem also has a wide netsvork of interested parties with an interest in R&D in the chemical sector. The Board is reviewing its role in the changing European landscape and this was also discussed at the stakeholder evenL At the end of the year Josef Wunsch of BASF stepped down as Suschem chair and introduced his Suc￿$S0r from BASF.
