Dear APCChE 2012 Delegates:
On behalf of the technical committee, I would like to provide you with a brief summary on the conference program for the 14th Asia Pacific Confederation of Chemical Engineering Congress for 2012 with the theme “Enabling Sustainable Development Through Creative & Innovative Chemical Engineering”.
Scheduled over the period Feb. 21-24, 2012 at the Suntec Singapore International Convention & Exhibition Center, the 14th APCChE Congress is comprised of 22 academic symposia with 485 plenary, keynote, oral and poster presentations by authors from 23 countries and regions, covering not only the Asia Pacific regions but also around the world. The topics of presentations have wide coverage on the subjects of classical and emerging chemical engineering science and technology. Please refer to the program book and E-Proceedings for the extended abstracts/abstracts of these papers. Short biography of invited, keynote and plenary speakers is available at the following conference website (http://www.rpsonline.com.sg/apcche/index.html) for references. Selected full papers will be published at special issues of the following two international refereed journals: Industrial & Engineering Chemistry Research (ACS) and Asia Pacific Journal of Chemical Engineering (Wiley).
I would like to take up this opportunity to acknowledge the contributions by authors of the submitted research papers and symposium chairs for their review on the technical contents of the scientific program. We plan to announce the APCChE 2012 Best Poster Presentation Award and APCChE 2012 Young Investigator Award winners in the gala dinner on Feb. 23, 2012 at the Marina Mandarin Hotel.
Look forward to meeting up with all of you during the APCChE 2012 in Singapore.
Sincerely yours,
Chi-Hwa Wang
