In South Africa, as is the case with our continent and indeed the rest of the world, is challenged to develop our societies through a future of constrained resources. Sustainability is a core requirement in our thinking as we grow our technologies to carry forward human development. As a profession, chemical engineering must lead in making bigger strides and pushing the boundaries in development, leaving ever-smaller footprints. The place to discuss these challenges is at SAIChE 2012!
We want to invite you to come and present your work or to join our discussions on a broad spectrum of carefully selected topics, which are relevant and invaluable to everyone in this field.
