CHAIRMAN’S WELCOME
I am very pleased to invite you to the 22nd International Congress of Chemical and Process Engineering CHISA 2016 and the 19th Conference on Process Integration, Modelling and Optimisation for Energy Saving and Pollution Reduction PRES 2016, which will be held jointly in Prague from 27 to 31 August 2016.
As all the CHISA Congresses in the past, also this one will cover a range of important topics and, together with the PRES conference, will offer many real interdisciplinary links.
The logistics of the program, which includes both the standard sessions and specialized symposia, should enable the interested people to listen also to the presentations, which are close to their fields of research however outside their everyday horizons.
You are cordially invited to meet colleagues and friends and enjoy a stay in one of the most beautiful cities in the world. We would love to see you in Prague!
Professor Jiří Drahoš
Congress Chairman
President of the Czech Society of Chemical Engineering (CSCHE)
CONGRESSES CHISA AND CONFERENCES PRES
The series of International Congresses CHISA taking place in the centre of Europe started in 1962 in Brno, Czechoslovakia then continued in Mariánské Lázně, and since 1972 the Congresses have been held in Prague. However, it is worth mentioning that the logo was used for the national event as early as 1953. The term CHISA originates from the Czech acronym for “Chemical Engineering, Chemical Equipment Design and Automation” and later became a “trade mark” for large meetings which had emphasised especially East-West-European and later pan-European contacts. Nevertheless, the stepwise development during the last two decades has transformed the one-time European Congresses into an event of world importance.
The PRES conferences started in Prague in 1998, and since then they have been held in Budapest, Hungary (1999), Prague (2000), Florence, Italy (2001), Prague (2002), Hamilton, Canada (2003), Prague (2004), Taormina, Italy (2005), Prague (2006), Ischia, Italy (2007), Prague (2008), Rome, Italy (2009), Prague (2010), Florence, Italy (2011), Prague (2012), Rhodes, Greece (2013), Prague (2014), Kuching, Malaysia (2015), Prague (2016) .
The objective of this joint event is to provide engineers, scientists, researchers, technologists, students and others with a platform to present their latest results, to interchange ideas, to make new contacts, to establish new collaborations, and many more.
Both the Congress CHISA and PRES Conference address the full spectrum of chemical and process engineering practice including current trends and future challenges.
