5th European Forum on New Technologies – Artificial Intelligence in Chemical Engineering

Artificial Intelligence and Machine Learning have had in the recent past a tremendous impact on chemical engineering. On the long run they can radically change the way in which we perform research on chemical processes, we design, scale-up and optimize chemical reactors and pieces of equipment and they can potentially introduce new paradigms on chemical process control and operation. Many are the challenges ahead for our community that can be addressed by the EFCE and its Working Parties and Sections. These can a successful journey only if the European Chemical Engineering community, both academic and industrial, is fully engaged. In this meeting we will bring together some visionary speakers to set out the potential and the challenges. There will be the opportunity to discuss the fundamentals of artificial intelligence, deep learning and machine learning, as well as their applications to process modelling, control and the building of digital twins.
