The AUN/SEED-Net Regional Conference is one of the supporting programs of the AUN/SEED-Net Phase 3. It is organized annually to serve as venue to disseminate the outputs of research collaborations among the Member Institutions and Japanese Supporting Universities, including advances in chemical engineering research and development. The regional conference also involves participants from the industry, government and other professional organizations.

The 6th AUN/SEED-Net Regional Conference on Chemical Engineering (6thRCCE) will be held on 2– 3 Dec. 2013in Manila, Philippines. The conference is again hosted by the Chemical Engineering Department of De La Salle University – Manila (DLSU) with University of Malaya (UM) and Universitas Gadjah Mada (UGM) as co-sponsors.

 

The objectives of the conference are:

1. To provide a venue where best practices in Chemical Engineering Education are shared;
2. To serve as springboard for new areas of research in Chemical Engineering;
3. To sustain the strong partnership and linkages among the AUN/SEED-Net Member Institutions and collaboration with Non-members Institutions, industry and government; and
4. To disseminate the research outputs of scholars and their mentors under the Collaborative Research program of AUN/SEED-Net as well as those of researchers engaged in interdisciplinary research.
