Annual Meeting on Reaction Engineering 2025

At this year's Annual Meeting on Reaction Engineering and Electrochemical Processes of DECHEMA in Würzburg we were represented with five poster contributions and one oral presentation (see below for abstracts).

On the first evening of the conference we participated in the poster party. We had many interesting conversations about our research and gained valuable insights into current topics in reaction engineering and electrochemistry. It was nice to see familiar faces again and make new contacts - accompanied by a cold drink or two in a relaxed atmosphere with colleagues from various universities and companies.

On the second day, Andreas Brix gave a presentation in the Machine Learning - Reactors session. The presentation was met with great interest and led to exciting technical discussions. In the evening, we attended the conference dinner, which took place on the passenger ship Alte Liebe. We were able to round off the day in a pleasant atmosphere on a cruise on the Main.

We are already looking forward to seeing you again in Würzburg in 2026.
