ESCAPE SERIES

Starting since 1966 with the former name "The use of Computers in Chemical Engineering", the Working Pary pioneered the approach to Process System Engineering with the limited tools offered at that time.

In 1991 the Working Party redefined its Terms of Reference and adopted a new Title, CAPE, Computer Aided Process Engineering.

Today computers are routinely applied throughout the entire spectrum of process and product engineering activities covering chemical, petrochemical, bio-chemical, and pharmaceutical industries and thereby, reflecting the success of the Working Parties activities. In its current form, the Working Party aims at: Acting as a focal point, within CAPE and related fields, for other EFCE Working Parties and National and International bodies, e.g. IChemE, IFAC, and AIChE. Promote good industrial practice by encouraging the development and use of CAPE methods and tools, by sharing experience in the application of existing CAPE methods and tools, by providing strategic reviews of the ongoing needs of the profession, and by identifying the potential opportunities for beneficial CAPE developments. Encourage and promote CAPE research by providing a European forum for the presentation and debate of new ideas and developments, by preparing state-of-the-art reviews of CAPE methods and tools, by stimulating new projects to meet identified needs and opportunities, both present and future The European Symposium on Computer-Aided Process Engineering (ESCAPE) is the reference event promoted every year by CAPE Working Party since 1992.
It is expected that the continued participation of the past years will be maintained and enhanced also in this event.

AIDIC so far continues to invite all the international specialists to see this event as an opportunity to exchange up-to-the-minute information on industrial needs, new technology developments, and research opportunities.
The previous events attracted leading Industrialists and Academics worldwide and provided a state-of-the-art on Chemical and Process Engineering.

PSE SERIES

The International Symposia on Process Systems Engineering (PSE) have been a triennial tradition since 1982.

The series was arranged by the International Organization for Process Systems Engineering with representation from the Asia Pacific Confederation of Chemical Engineering, the European Federation of Chemical Engineering, and the Inter-American Confederation of Chemical Engineering. It has proved to be an attractive global platform for the PSE academics, researchers, and practitioners from all corners of the world for sharing advances in PSE education, research, and application. PSE-24 is the 15th in the series.

Previous events were:
