KATHMANDU, FEBRUARY 2
The Students' Society of Chemical Engineering (SSOChE) at Pulchowk Campus is set to host INNOCHEM 2025, a national-level symposium and exhibition on February 10-12, 2025 (Magh 28-30, 2081 B.S.). The event aims to bring together students, professionals, and industry leaders to discuss advancements and innovations in chemical engineering.
This year's theme, "Innovating for a Circular Economy", focuses on fostering sustainable solutions that minimize waste and maximize resource efficiency. A circular economy reimagines traditional systems by emphasizing reuse, recycling, and regeneration of materials, aiming for long-term environmental and economic benefits, the organizers added.
The three-day event will feature 25+ experts in panel discussions on chemical engineering's role in industrial development, energy efficiency, and food safety. The second and third days will showcase 30+ projects from BE and +2 students across competitions like ChemE Plant Design, Waste-to-Energy Challenge, and ChemE Car Competition.
The exhibition expects over 3,000 visitors, including participants from 20+ institutions, industry professionals, and international attendees, according to the organizers.
Nepal has only two institutions offering undergraduate programs in chemical engineering-Kathmandu University and IOE, Tribhuvan University. INNOCHEM provides a crucial networking and learning opportunity for aspiring engineers to engage with industry leaders and showcase their work, the organizers added.
The event will conclude with a musical evening, further enhancing the experience for participants and visitors.
