MECCE 2026

The 16th Mediterranean Congress of Chemical Engineering (MeCCE) will be held from June 2 to June 5, 2026, in Barcelona, Spain, as part of EXPOQUIMIA, the International Chemistry Event and Process Industries. Under the theme “Transforming the Industry, Shaping the Future,” this edition will explore the evolving role of chemical engineering in addressing critical global challenges. Moreover, it is a great opportunity to implement the entire 2030 Agenda from science to industry through engineering and its power of transfer.

The great differential value of this congress is that it unites science and engineering with industry, being a unique bridge for the scientific and business communities to come together in an incomparable setting. We make this possible with a program that fosters interaction between the academic community and the different industrial sectors that make up or serve the chemical and process industries ecosystem.

This edition will once again feature innovations, solutions, debates, and challenges, but with a revamped format. MeCCE is growing to enhance its unique feature: its connection with Expoquimia. We are promoting networking and interaction between MeCCE attendees and key figures from the fair's exhibitors. It is a historic event that will set guidelines for the industrial processes of the future.

Join the MeCCE ecosystem and position your institution at the forefront of chemical engineering and industrial innovation.
A unique opportunity for professional associations, entities, organizations, and universities to connect, collaborate, and lead in shaping the future of the sector.

The Mediterranean Congress of Chemical Engineering (MeCCE) extends its programme until Friday, 5 June, further reinforcing its role as a key meeting point for the chemical engineering community. This edition will host, for the first time, the EFCE Forum: “Energy Transition in the Chemical Industry”, organised by the European Federation of Chemical Engineering (EFCE).

The Forum will offer participants a unique opportunity to engage with current European perspectives on chemical engineering and the energy transition. It will feature the participation of Prof. Jarka Glassey, President of EFCE, who will introduce the plenary speaker, and Prof. Boelo Schuur, EFCE Scientific Vice President, who will lead the subsequent round-table discussion.
