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.

The Hanns Hofmann Award winner 2024 is Dr. Philipp Röse, Junior Research Group Leader, Electrocatalysis, KIT, Institut für Angewandte Materialien - Elektrochemische Technologien.
The award is endowed with a cash prize of € 2,000 and a certificate.
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.
In 2024, Ahmet Celik was awarded with the Young Talent Award for his brilliant lecture on the topic "Process Development of Climate-Friendly Hydrogen Production by Pyrolysis of Methane and Biogas: From Reaction Engineering to Techno-Economic Studies".
The Young Talent Award is endowed with 500 € and a free conference participation.
This year, the award was sponsored by Dr. Olaf Wachsen Consulting & Training, Garching an der Alz. The Awardee of the "Young Talent Award" was selected from the best lecturers by a jury of members of the Early Career Reaction Engineers (NaWuReT).
