TOPICS of ICheaP 17
The Conference technical program is structured
in parallel sessions, which will be held over three days.
The Conference topics will be treated in invited plenary lectures, selected
lecture presentations and poster sessions.
Posters will stay on for the whole Conference promoting Author presentation
and spontaneous discussion.
The major aim of ICheaP-17 is to
review the latest development, needs and issues on the thematic areas covered
in general by emerging references of Chemical Engineering Science.
