October 22, 2026 • Celebrating 25 years of WCEC

For 25 years, the World Chemical Engineering Council has brought chemical engineering communities together across regions, creating a forum for exchange and international cooperation. To mark this anniversary, we are launching “WCEC at 25 – Voices of Leadership”: an interview series exploring the people, experiences and ideas that have shaped WCEC—and the opportunities ahead. Contributors reflect on what global cooperation has achieved, what regions can learn from one another, and how chemical engineers can work together to address challenges in energy, water, food, health and sustainability. We look forward to sharing their perspectives with you over the coming weeks. What should be the priority for global cooperation in chemical engineering over the next 25 years?
