The 7th European Conference on Process Analytics and Control Technology (EuroPACT) is being held from 4-7 May 2026 at Lyon Convention Centre, France.
The competitiveness of all processing industries – from (petro)-chemicals over pharmaceuticals to foods & feeds - greatly depends on its ability to deliver consistent, high-quality and high-value products at competitive prices, in a sustainable way.
Data, Data Analytics and Process Analytical Technology are becoming the cornerstones for any global, competitive industry, and process analytical techniques are an essential tool in this future. With this in mind EuroPACT 2026 focusses on featuring innovation along the following three pillars:
1. Process Analytics for Value Creation in Real-World Applications
2. From Data to Process Insight, Automation, Control and Optimization
3. Novel PAT and Instrumental Technologies
The three pillars will be complemented by a special focus on Integrated AI and on PACT for process intensification for sustainable solutions. The conference will be completed by an exhibition of instrumentation, applications and data evaluation tools.
EuroPACT 2026 provides a unique meeting and a discussion forum for researchers, suppliers and users of process analytics from both academia and industry. The conference program will include plenary and invited lectures and plenty of opportunity for discussion with colleagues during poster sessions, speed dating and discussion rounds.
