- 14th International Chemical and Biological Engineering Conference (CHEMPOR-2023): Book of AbstractsPublication . Queiroz, Ana; Peres, António M.; Ribeiro, António E.; Barreiro, Filomena; Ferreira, Olga; Brito, Paulo; Pinho, SimãoWelcome to the 14th edition of the International Chemical and Biological Engineering Conference (ChemPor-2023) held at Bragança Polytechnic University (Instituto Politécnico de Bragança, IPB), Portugal, from 12 to 15 of September, 2023. This triennial conference, organized by a Portuguese Higher Education Institution and the Portuguese Engineers Association (Ordem dos Engenheiros), gathers experts from the chemical and biological engineering areas and related subjects to exchange knowledge and technological experiences within the academic, industrial, scientific, and technological communities. ChemPor-2023 addresses these research fields in different topics, from green chemistry to engineering education, always envisaging a sustainable development. The etymology of the word “conference”, from the Medieval Latin, means literally “bring together”. This 14th edition comes with a two-year delay following the global sanitary crisis since only a full inperson meeting could fulfill this purpose. ChemPor-2023 encompasses a gathering in a vivid, enlightening, and convivial way, and this hiatus did not limit this spirit or its objectives. The conference aims to celebrate creativity, diversity, and friendship among participants, promoting ideas exchange and fruitful interactions. We have circa 300 delegates from 4 continents, and your active participation is highly acknowledged. The general relevance of ChemPor-2023 is addressed in a variety of settings, including biorefinery, biotechnology, energy and environment, innovative materials, creation and design of novel reaction and separation processes, always foreseeing industrial applications for a sustainable shaping of the future. This edition includes an opening lecture by Jorge Calado in the immense but much less explored area of ArtScience, and an Honor Session dedicated to Alírio Rodrigues for his academic and scientific contributions, particularly regarding IPB. Besides, the conference includes 11 invited lectures from internationally recognized scientists and experts from the industry, 107 oral presentations distributed in 27 sessions, and 135 posters in two dedicated sessions. A session exclusively dedicated to companies and another for Ph.D. studies in industrial environments are to be highlighted. The “Professor Almiro e Castro” award, established in 2014 by PARALAB – Equipamentos Industrial and Laboratory SA, to recognize the scientific merit of a Portuguese professor or researcher in the last three years in the fields of Chemical and Biological Engineering, and related areas, will be announced at the closing of the conference. In that ceremony, the two best posters and the best oral communication awards by young scientists will also be granted. We want to reinforce our deepest appreciation to all the participants, but also to the members of the Honor, Scientific, and Local Organizing Committees for their invaluable contribution to the conference and acknowledge the institutional support of Instituto Politécnico de Bragança, Ordem dos Engenheiros, Centro de Investigação de Montanha, Sociedade Portuguesa de Química, and Câmara Municipal de Bragança. Expressing enormous gratitude is mandatory to all our Sponsors and associated scientific journals and publishers. Nothing could have been possible without all of you! Finally, our best wishes for success for the next ChemPor organization.
