2014 Annual Meeting

October 28 - November 2, 2012

n support of our efforts to address societies grand challenges, AIChE and its Center for Energy Initiatives (CEI) has scheduled a World Café on the Energy Water Food Nexus (761) during our Annual Meeting in Atlanta, GA in November. The World Café will focus on the global grand challenge of the Energy Water Food Nexus. The session aims to build awareness of the challenge and highlight the roles chemical engineering expertise can play in addressing the system integration challenges and technology needs resulting from the interconnected nature of global water-energy-food issues. We would like to extend an invitation to you to participate in this session. The session is scheduled for Monday, November 17th at 8:30 a.m. An introduction and speaker presentations will occur from 8:30 a.m. - 10:00 a.m., followed by a workshop discussion from 10:00 a.m. - 11:00 a.m. This session has been planned by prominent leaders of international chemical engineering organizations. AIChE and IChemE are collaborating under the auspices of the World Chemical Engineering Council to help make this session a success. We hope to help address this challenge by identifying specific projects in which IfS (Institute for Sustainability) and CEI can participate
