TOWARDS A CIRCULAR ECONOMy

THE 31ST EDITION OF THE EUROPEAN SYMPOSIUM ON COMPUTER AIDED PROCESS ENGINEERING (ESCAPE-31)

Although COVID-19 has kept us the last two years from traveling and visiting conferences and events, the 31st edition of the ESCAPE conference commenced on 6th of June in Istanbul, virtually! There were 344 participants from all over the world with industrial and academic contributions. The topics ranged from process-product synthesis, computational tools to the application of PSE methods in biological systems and the water-energy-food nexus. The ESCAPE is the main meeting where the Computer Aided Process Engineering Working Party (CAPE-WP) meets and discuss. The conference provided a stage for the discussion how to move towards a circular economy.
