The Annual Meeting on Reaction Engineering is an excellent platform for scientific exchange between experts as well as networking between academic groups and industry. We invite scientists from industry, research institutions and universities, to share and discuss their work and learn about the latest developments. The 2025 edition of the Annual Meeting is jointly organized by the DECHEMA/VDI Subject Divisions Chemical Reaction Engineering, Electrochemical Processes and Kinetics and Reaction Mechanisms. The meeting will provide the opportunity for these communities to describe and discuss current research on relevant topics and to identify synergies.

Main topics:

• Electrochemical Processes and Photochemistry
• Kinetics and Reaction Mechanisms
• Reactor- and Cell-Design and Scale-up
• Modeling and Diagnostics across Scales

Focus applications:

• Electrifying the Chemical Industry
• Circular Economy

We also encourage contributions from a wide range of areas within reaction engineering, electrochemical processes, and kinetics. Deadline for a paper submission for posters is 25th April 2025.

Four plenary lectures given by international renowned scientists, a poster party and a conference dinner will provide the framework for stimulating discussions and talks.

We look forward to welcoming you to the Annual Meeting on Reaction Engineering from May 26-28, 2025 in Würzburg!

Eventdatum: 26.05.25 – 28.05.25

The “HIT” – Himmelfahrtstagung on Bioprocess Engineering is a well-established conference bringing together experts from academia and industry to discuss the latest developments and innovations.
The meeting covers the complete range of topics related to bioprocess engineering, including novel bioprocesses and pathways, process innovation in upstream and downstream bioprocessing, modeling & simulation, enzyme and whole-cell catalysis as well as bioprocess solutions to achieve sustainable development goals.

This single-strand conference gives all researchers the opportunity to showcase their work through talks, poster pitches, and intensive poster presentations offering fresh perspectives and innovative approaches to the bioprocess engineering community. 

This year, for the first time, there will be 3-minutes poster pitches in order to give young researchers the opportunity to gain their first stage experience or to present projects that have just been started.

Major Topics will be:

• Scaling in Up- and Downstream Bioprocesses
• Bioprocess Automation and Control 
• Bioprocess Engineering in Food Sciences
• Bioprocesses using Non-Platform Organisms
• Metabolic Engineering meets Biochemical Engineering
• Open Topic (young researchers are encouraged to present their new, unfinished, recently started or planned work) 

Young scientists who have made industrially significant contributions to bioprocess engineering during their PhD thesis are invited to apply for the DECHEMA Industrial Bioprocess Award.
The prize, which will be offered for the seventh time, comes with up to 5,000 € prize money and be awarded as part of the Himmelfahrtstagung.
