TOPICS of IConBM2024

The Conference technical program is structured one session, 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 IConBM2024 is to review the latest development, needs and issues on the thematic areas covered in general by emerging references of Chemical Engineering Science.
