Themed on “Paradigm Shifting in Chemical Engineering for Global Challenges”, the event will address UN-concerned global governance issues, including climate change, energy revolution, poverty alleviation, and quality of life.

With the theme of “Paradigm Shifting in Chemical Engineering for Global Challenges”, WCCE12 & APCChE2025 will keep abreast of the new fields of science and technology in the world to address the disruptive challenges facing the development of the chemical industry. The event will revolve around four challenging topics: Education and Training; Fundamental Industry Reinfrastruture; Strategic and Emerging Industries; and Future Chemical Engineering and Smart Innovation.

Consisting of more than 600 thought-provoking cutting-edge presentations and exciting exchanges and seminars with over 30 innovative themes, the event will bring together the world's top scientists to share cutting-edge technologies and groundbreaking research findings, deeply exploring how the traditional chemical industry adapt to new demands for transformation and upgrading, how to cultivate emerging and future industries, how to promote the development of new quality productive forces with innovative development paradigms, and how to foster a new generation of chemical engineers who can adapt to industrial changes.

The event will include the opening ceremony, keynote reports, special reports, the closing ceremony, etc., with the topics covering the whole chemical industry chain. Renowned figures will be invited to give keynote reports and share their insights at this academic feast. They include leaders and heads of international chemical organizations, Nobel laureates in chemistry, academicians, experts, scholars and relevant persons in charge of prestigious universities, research institutes and enterprises at home and abroad.
