A Conference on Chemical Engineering Innovation has been organised ever since the Master’s Degree in Chemical Engineering was born. Students propose technological innovations that deal with a social necessity or answer to a specific market opportunity. In these conferences work is done on critical thinking, teamwork and communication skills.
Sure you already know about these conferences, but here are some links to the videos of past editions:

This year, the conferences will be held in the Sala de Juntes of the Engineering Technical School of the Universitat de València (Room 0.2.4.), on Wednesday 29th January 2020 from 11:00 a.m. to 1:00 p.m., and we would be delighted to have you there.
This year's theme responds to a current need that can be addressed from chemical engineering. As we all know, the ban on single-use plastics throughout the European Union has already been dated: the year 2021. Therefore, it is necessary to start developing solutions to cover the needs that will be generated by the plastic industry's transformation, such as those proposed by our students.
In order to carry out in a professional atmosphere that simulates the interaction between the participants and the visiting public in a scientific congress or business fair, we have arranged 7 stands where our innovators will show the attendees the development of the latest technological proposals.
