The conference
Emerging Vistas in Chemical Engineering is a two day National Conference that would focus on harnessing innovative solutions to process problems by the practising Chemical Engineers, for ensuring a sustainable future for our Country. The chemical engineering landscape is undergoing a transformative shift, driven by the convergence of artificial intelligence(AI), additive manufacturing (AM) and decarbonisation. AI is revolutionising engineering practises in general and is capable of unlocking newer efficiencies for the designers. AM can transform product realisation and redefine industry standards. The concepts of Decarbonisation and Green Hydrogen are capable of pioneering sustainable solutions for a low-carbon future. This conference is designed to serve as a platform for experts to discuss these emerging trends in terms of their impact on the way chemical engineering is learnt/ practised as well as on the newer application areas that are expected to unfold in near future
The conference provides for keynote presentations, panel discussions, exhibition space and limitless networking opportunities for the delegates.

About IIChE Trivandrum Regional Centre
Indian Institute of Chemical Engineers (IIChE) is a national body of professional Chemical Engineers headquartered at Kolkata with about 32000 members across the country with 48 regional centres as well as 190 Student Chapters with the active participation from various academic institutes and industries. IIChE began its journey on May 18, 1947. IIChE Trivandrum Regional Centre (TVRC) was established in the year 1984. This centre is one of the oldest among the 48 regional centres of IIChE. TVRC has more than 180 members from R & D institutes, academic institutions, industries, organizations located in Thiruvananthapuram and Kollam districts of Kerala.
The Venue - Thiruvananthapuram
Located at the south-western tip of Indian subcontinent, Thiruvananthapuram, which is also known as Trivandrum, is a calm beautiful and quiet city. It is the capital of Kerala (God’s own country) and is a much-sought-after tourist destination. Referred to by Mahatma Gandhi as the “Evergreen City of India”, the city is characterized by its undulating terrain of low coastal hills and a long coast line full of coconut trees. Thiruvananthapuram is a major tourist centre, known for the Padmanabhaswamy Temple, the beaches of Kovalam & Varkala (cliff), the backwaters of Poovar and Anchuthengu and Western Ghats tracts of Ponmudi and the Agastyamala. Thiruvananthapuram is also a notable research hub and is home to research centres such as Vikram Sarabhai Space Centre, the mother centre of Indian Space Research Organisation, Liquid Propulsion Systems Centre, National Institute of Interdisciplinary Science and Technology, Indian Institute of Science Education & Research, Indian Institute of Space Science & Technology and many more. Thiruvananthapuram is well connected by air, rail and road with other parts of the country. Details of travel /hotel booking in the city are available in the website www.keralatourism.org of Kerala Tourism Development Corporation.
Plenary and Invited Lectures
The technical content of the conference will be enriched with plenary and keynote lectures by eminent scientists from above fields. Conference is planned to be conducted in multiple parallel technical sessions meant to provide an equitable platform for speakers and presenters. Programme details of the plenary and keynote lectures will be announced soon.
