Invites you to the The Italian Association of Chemical Engineering VENUE ICheaP-12 International Conference on Chemical & Process Engineering will be held in Milano, Centro Congressi Stella Polare at Fieramilano (Rho Pero) from 19 to 22 May, 2015. JOINTLY WITH IPACK-IMA is among the most attractive global exhibitions for suppliers of technology and materials for processing and packaging, as it is capable of giving room, voice and momentum to all industry players. The leading exhibition for processing and packaging technology will be held in conjunction with Meat- Tech - Processing & Packaging for the Meat Industry; Fruitech Innovation - the show dedicated to technology innovation in the fruit and vegetable industry; Dairytech - the first exhibition for the processing and packaging of the dairy industry; Converflex - specializing in package printing and converting technology; and Grafitalia - showcasing the printing, graphic design and communication industry. Also the industry of logistics and material handling technology will also be represented at Intralogistica Italia. In addition to its co-location with 7 international trade exhibitions, IPACK-IMA 2015 will also be held jointly with the EXPO, the Universal Exposition raising strong interest worldwide taking place from May to October. IPACK-IMA is the only exhibition recognized by the Expo as Italy s leading event in processing and packaging technology for the food and non-food industry. The venue is located next to Expo 2015 site and offers the most modern and functional exhibition spaces. Fiera Milano boasts an unique experience in the organization and management of professional exhibitions and congresses and in the full range of specialized services needed by the trade fair business. Fieramilano can be reached from Milan by the subway (Red line 1), which has its terminus at the fairgrounds; but it is easily accessible from any location in Italy or abroad: it enjoys the strategic location of Milan in the European network of air, road and railway connections. www.aidic.it/icheap12
ABOUT THE CONFERENCE ICheaP-12 is the twelfth event in a series of biannual events started in 1993 with "the first International Conference on Chemical and Process Engineering" organized by AIDIC, the Italian Association of Chemical Engineering. It is expected, then, that the continuous 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 from all over the world and provided a state of the art on Chemical and Process Engineering. Conference Participation confirmed the International character and appeal reached by ICheaP-Series and demonstrated the need of having a permanent forum and record of International R&D activities. ICheaP12 is organized in Milano during EXPO2015, a universal exposition addressed to the main strategic objectives: Feed the Planet and Energy for Life. EXPO2015 will last from May to October and will attract a worldwide participation that will provide visibility to the tradition, the creativity and innovation in food industry and in new global food scenarios. ICheaP12 will be jointly organized on occasion of IPACK-IMA an international fair on the technologies for food processing and packaging. The synergic relation with IPACK-IMA will contribute to the organization of sessions addressed to food losses control and to the definition of new targets on high standard level of food safety. So ICheaP12, in line with EXPO2015 objectives and favouring the IPACK-IMA themes, will call experts to provide answers and to define solutions to those thematic subjects with proper sessions and keynote presentations. It is therefore evident that joining ICheaP12, on occasion of EXPO2015 and IPACK-IMA, is an unique opportunity that gives to the event participants a world wide open window and an extraordinary opportunity to favor contacts and enlarge visibility CONFERENCE TOPICS The major aim of ICheaP-12 is to review the latest development, needs and issues on the thematic areas covered in general by emerging references of Chemical Engineering Science. Technical program is structured in parallel sessions; conference topics will be treated in invited plenary lectures, selected oral presentations and poster sessions.
