About: ICheaP-6,

The sixth Italian Conference on Chemical and Process Engineering, Pisa, June 8-11, 2003

ICheaP-6 is the sixth event in a series of biannual events started in 1993 with "the first Italian Conference on Chemical and Process Engineering" organized by AIDIC, the Italian Association of Chemical Engineering.

It aims to exchange up-to-the minute information on industrial needs, new technology developments and research opportunities. The joint organization of ICheaP-3 with ECCE-1, the "first European Conference on Chemical Engineering" sponsored by the European Federation of Chemical Engineering, in May 1997, represented the height of success further ICheaP series.

 The successive event ICheaP-4, Florence, 2-5, May,1999 attracted leading Industrialists and Academics from all over the world and provided a state of the art on Chemical and Process Engineering. ICheaP-4 has called the International audience to that meeting which offered novel opportunities for exchanging ideas and issues in emerging areas of Chemical Engineering.

The Program flew with 5 parallel sessions covering 12 topics with 169 Oral Presentations.
A permanent Poster Session showing 71 Posters was organized for the duration of the Conference.

Two Plenary Lectures opened the Conference:

"A Vision in Engineering/Chemical Engineering at Japanese Universities for the 21st Century", by: Prof. Kunio Kataoka, Vice President of Kobe University, Japan

"The Importance of the fifth RTD Framework Programme for the Chemical Industry", by: Dr. David Bricknell, SUSTECH Secretariat, Belgium

ICheaP-5 was the fifth event, held in Florence Italy, 20-23 May 2001.

The joint organization of ICheaP-5 with the International Conference PRES-01, ( 4th Conference on Process Integration, Modelling and Optimisation for Energy Saving and Pollution Reduction) confirmed the height of success furtherly achieved by ICheaP series.

The conference technical program flew with 3 parallel sessions during the first 2 days of the conference and with 4 parallel sessions at the last day.

A permanent Poster Session was organized for the whole duration of the conference.

A Plenary Lecture presented by
Prof. Eliseo Ranzi (Politecnico di Milano, Italy) opened the Technical Program .

Conference Participation both confirmed the International character and appeal reached by ICheaP-Series and demonstrated the need for having a permanent forum and record of International R&D activities.

The International Scientific Committee was strongly supported by representatives of AIDIC's Subject Divisions and an equally balanced group of experts was formed to take care of the hard task of refereeing and setting up of the technical program. The Organizing Committee faced the hard job of managing the participation of all the delegates arriving from all over the world.
