33rd SYMPOSIUM of MALAYSIAN CHEMICAL ENGINEERS (SOMChE) 2022

33rd Symposium of Malaysian Chemical Engineers (SOMChE) 2022, scheduled to be held virtually between 8th to 9th of August, 2022 (08:00-17:00 MYT). The theme of this conference is: Empowering & Building Resilience in Achieving Sustainable Development Goals.

SOMChE 2022 is jointly organised by Heriot-Watt University Malaysia and the Institution of Chemical Engineers (IChemE). The seventeen (17) UN Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) form the blueprint to achieve a more sustainable future. However, global challenges such as poverty, inequality, climate change, environmental degradation, peace, and justice need to be addressed. Viewing the challenges we face, we need to build resilience and work together to achieve the SDGs.

SOMChE 2022 will bring well-known keynote speakers to one place to share their latest work and innovation. This virtual symposium also offers an inclusive platform for all participants to share their latest research outcomes that address national, regional, and global challenges. Finally, this conference encourages present and future generations to explore their works and talents.
