The conference provides a platform for scientific exchange between experts in these two disciplines as well as networking between academic groups and industry. We invite scientists from industry, research institutions and universities, to share and discuss their work and learn about the latest developments. The 2024 edition of the Annual Meeting is jointly organized by the DECHEMA/VDI Subject Divisions Reaction Engineering and Electrochemical Processes.
In 2024 the conference will follow the trend summarized by the heading "Electrifying the Chemical Industry". The joint annual meeting will provide the opportunity for both communities to describe and discuss electrification from their perspective and to identify synergies.
Both groups selected the following five focus topics for this annual meeting:
The conference programme is also covering the entire spectrum of topics of reaction engineering and electrochemical processes.
Four plenary lectures given by international renowned scientists, a poster party and a conference dinner will provide the framework for stimulating discussions and talks.

Traditionally there are awarded three Best Poster Prizes at each Annual Meeting. The Best Poster Award is endowed with 300 € each. A jury of 9 experts will evalute the quality of all 120 posters.
In 2022 we have also implemented the "Young Talent Award". This year, it is sponsored by Dr. Olaf Wachsen Consulting & Training, Garching an der Alz. The Young Talent Award is endowed with 500 € and a free conference participation. The Awardee of the "Young Talent Award" will be selected from the best lecturers by a jury of members of the Early Career Reaction Engineers (NaWuReT).
The Hanns Hofmann Prize has been awarded since 2008 to promote young scientists in the field of chemical reaction engineering. It is aimed at young scientists who have completed their doctoral thesis and whose research work already demonstrates their own scientific profile.
The award is endowed with a cash prize of €2,000 and a certificate.
The winner will be announced and the prize will be handed over at the opening of the conference.
The winner of the Hanns Hoffmann Prize 2024 will give a lecture on Wednesday, 8 May.
Please note: Registration fee cannot be waived for authors. Please register until 29 February 2024.
If you are unable to present your lecture for any reason, please let us know as soon as possible.
The official language of the conference is English. Simultaneous translation will be not available.
A brief CV questionary enables the appropriate chairperson to introduce all lecturers to the audience. Therefore, lecturers are asked to download the CV form and to return it to the conference office until 29 February.
The ideal format for the presentation is 16:9. A notebook (MS Office 2010, Adobe Acrobat Reader 9.3) and a wireless presenter will be provided. Please bring your presentation slides as PowerPoint or PDF-File on a USB stick. Nevertheless, we kindly ask you to bring your own laptop computer as a backup.
In case that you need internet or a special software for your presentation, please notify us in advance.
Each lecture is planned for a duration of 20 minutes plus 5 minutes for discussion. Strict timekeeping will be essential for the smooth running of the conference. We suggest to use a minimum font size of 24 pt for your presentation slides.
A poster board will be available for each poster, with the poster number attached.
The posters will be shown throughout the whole conference. Please hang up your poster at the beginning of the meeting on 6 May.
As a major guideline it is proposed to make the poster intelligible in itself, even in the absence of the author. It is suggested to divide the content of each poster into introduction, results and conclusion, with a summary listing the pertinent results and conclusion.
Standard size for posters is 0.85 x 1.2 m (DIN A0 German Standard) vertically oriented.
To ensure that the text is still legible from a distance of 2-3 m, the main text should be written in font size 25-30 pt, marginal information can be slightly smaller with font size 20-25 pt. The title of a poster must be readable from a distance of approx. 5 m (100-200 pt). Subtitles and headings in the text can be written in 50 pt font.
