The annual event is where members of the CERE industry Consortium engage in discussions with the staff of the center.
A large part of the content of this years’ version was devoted to bridging across disciplines.
Most visible was collaboration with the KT-Consortium at DTU Chemical Engineering. Since its founding in 1997, this industry Consortium has changed its name a few times, but always remained committed to process simulation. Last year CERE chairman, Professor Georgios Kontogeorgis agreed to lead both consortia, resulting in a co-organized event this year with several sessions involving both CERE and KT-Consortium content.
“The CERE consortium has more participating companies from the energy sector, while the KT-Consortium has more pharmaceutical and biotech participants. Still, many projects have related challenges and approaches,” says Georgios Kontogeorgis, revealing this had been a topic during the traditional, closed round table discussion with the CERE industry Consortium participants and the faculty of CERE. “The industry participants see partly synergy with the KT-Consortium. So, maybe we will repeat the joint format next, but we will see.”
