A high-powered mix of keynote speakers from academia, research and industry will be presenting addresses at this year’s Chemeca Conference, held in Sydney on 18-21 September (www.chemeca2011. com). NSW chief scientist and engineer Prof Mary O’Kane will open the conference on Monday 19 September, followed by Sir William Wakeham, international president of IChemE, and vice-president and honorary international secretary of the Royal Academy of Engineering in Britain. He will examine the ways in which the chemical engineering profession is addressing some of the key challenges facing humanity and argue that the profession must continually expand its boundaries.
