"Smart ChemE for a Safer and Greener Earth"
— Challenges and opportunities for our industries
The objective of the International Conference on Chemical Engineering (ICChE), organized once every three years by the Department of Chemical Engineering, Bangladesh University of Engineering and Technology (BUET), is to provide an international platform for academics, researchers, industrial practitioners, policy makers, and technology developers to discuss and exchange ideas on recent advances, trends and challenges in the broader field of chemical engineering.
The goal of the 8th ICChE (2026) is to explore sustainable and smart solutions for energy, health and environmental challenges. Moreover, the conference will cover all general topics of chemical engineering.
*Selected papers will be published in peer reviewed journal

Student competitions are special events of the International Conference on Chemical Engineering. This year two student competition events will be organized.
Theme: Application of Chemical Engineering for Improving the Day-to-Day Life
Objective: This project is intended to identify a problem or difficulty in our day-to-day life and propose a sustainable conceptual solution based on chemical engineering to improve the quality of life.
Presentation mode: The project is to be presented as a recorded video covering each essential aspect. The team is fixed to four members. Each member of the team is required to participate in the presentation. The permissible time span of the recorded presentation is 5–6 minutes.
Objective: The aim of the competition is to provide students with an opportunity, in a team-oriented hands-on design and construction of a small chemically powered car. It tests the ability of the participants to safely control and harness the energy of a chemical reaction by initiating the car and allowing it to traverse a fixed distance carrying a certain load.
Guidelines and details of the competition — click here
Registration: Interested teams are required to complete registration with the submission of a brief abstract/summary by 31 October, 2023. Click here to register.
Final submission: The deadline for final submission is 30 November, 2023.
Prizes: Reasonable cash prize money, certificate of international recognition, and more.
It is not possible to host several seminars in different locations without helping hands. We have several sponsors who volunteer to help us physically and financially to make things happen.
