The SCEJ Women's Award, which is presented to women who have made outstanding technical and research achievements in chemical engineering-related fields, will be presented. In addition, there will be invited and requested lectures by female researchers and engineers who are active at the forefront of R&D and management. We would like to hear about the joys, difficulties, and goals in the field of research and development, and to discuss with you how to create a place for creative research and technological development, from the perspective of fostering global human resources in a sustainable society.
