Conferences and trade fairs

For its 15th edition, the International Conference on Micro Reaction Technology (IMRET) is coming back to where it all began. Since the start of this “place to be” for chemists, chemical engineers and micro systems engineers, the event has demonstrated a variety of new applications in chemical engineering, chemistry, related disciplines like energy supply, and even more different fields such as analytics, life science and medicine. Yet, as each of the involved disciplines has seen amazing progress, the mission of providing an effective platform for exchange is more topical than ever.

IMRET 15 therefore sets out to become once more the place where new developments regarding all facets of micro process engineering and flow chemistry will be jointly discussed for mutual benefit.

IMRET 15 will take place in the city of Karlsruhe from 21 October to 24 October 2018, organised by DECHEMA e.V. with the support of the German ProcessNet Working Group Microreaction Engineering, the IMRET Steering Committee and the International Flow Chemistry Society.
