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.

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.
Jens Hgmprecht.
The IRISS project which was initiated by Suschem and is Unde￿aY ¢Owordinaled by Emma Stromberg of the Swedish
Environmentsl Research Institute is coming to the end of its EU fvnding and now, a new phase begins where they aim to
build the world'5 large51 international SSbD Community. The project has published strategic roadmaps to guide aclion
toward safer, more sustsinablè materials, processes. and products. released srx scientific articles and over a dozen public
ports which Can bo found on thèir website. One of its work packages is on education and skills,{where they are working
with the EFCE Education Working Party) which led to a report on Skills, knowledge and edurAtion needs and gaps and
mismatches for thè uptake of SSbD.
A4PIRE
EFCE is an Associate Member of A4PIRE, whith is a partnership be￿een ten industry groups and the European
Commission. The groups represént cémént cèramics, chemicals. engineering, minerals and ores, non-ferrous metalg,
pulp and paper. refining, steel and water sectors. EFCE had input into A-SPIRE'S roadmap "Processes4Planets
Transfomiing the European Process IrKlustry for a Sustainable Society" which h85 significantly InflUen￿d some of tho
Eu's Framework Programm8 calls.
Seienllfle Report
Most of the Working Parties and Sections of the EFCE have been fully active in 2024. Howev8r, the Working Party Quality

Spotllght Talks- contlnu•d
Launched in 2020, the Spotlight Talks webinar series https."Iletse.infolSpotlight_Talks.html are now a highly anticipated
event bringing together the chemical and biochemical engineering Community. and one of EFCE'S success stories of
recent years.
The Talks are presented by leading industry and academic experts and enable Worf(ing Parties, Sections and attendees,
to discuss a diverse range of chemical engineering topics. Behveen them, the 2024 spring and 8Utumn Spotlight Talks
féatured 23 webinars.
The 6th séri6s. from 15 March to 28 March, featured eleven contributions from the following Working Parties and Sections"
Chemical Reaction Engineering, Crystallization, Drying, Education, Fluid Separats'ons, Loss Prevention and Safety
Promotion, PrO￿s$ Intensification, Static Electricity in Induslry, Themodynamics and Transport Properties, Food, and
Membrane Engineering. With an average of 112 participants in each webinar (1,238 in total). it was EFCE'S best-attended
series of Spouight Talks ever.
The 7th series, held from &14 November, consisted of tsyelve webinars organized with the hèlp of thirteen Working Parties
and Sections {Sustainability, Mixing. Electrochemical Engineering, High Pressure TeGhnology, Food. Loss Prevention and
Safety Promotion. Agglomeration, Multiphase Fluid Flow, Ststic Electricity in Industry. Education. Polymer Reaction
Engineering, Thermodynamics and Transport Properties and Early Career Chemical Engineers}. The attendance was very

European Forum on Now Technologles
The 5th European Forum on New Technologies was organized in Paris on 13 December 2024, gathering experts.
professionals, and researchers coming half from academia and half from industy {with 42 Companies taking part) to
discuss the role of Artificial Intslligence in Chemical Engineering.
The large attèndance {130 participants) from 17 countries confim)s that Al is a hot topic that concerns many areas of
chemical engineering.
The programme comprised three separate sessions, covering an Overview of artificial intelligence for process engineering.
an exploration of Generative artifiual intelligence and transfomiation in process engineering, and examples of Al
applications in chemi¢al engineering. The pr8sentstions w8r8 followed by a round table discussion, tackling three
questions..
Can Al enhance creatimty in process engineering?
How can Al be better integrated into Chemical engineering curricula?
Whal is the futur6 of Al-human collaboration?
The discussion showed the desire for more synergistic collaboration betsveen academia and industry to ¢reate a positive
ripple effect. It also underlined the importance of democratization, within the boundaries of inlelleclual propety rights, the
need to ensure repli¢ability of results and transparency in Al frameworf<$ to foster trust betsyèen humans and Al, and the
imperalive to educatè the next generation of chemical engineers, equipping them y￿th a thorough understsnding of Al's
potential and limitations to promote it has responsib16 use.
