EURECHA Activities
Upcoming activities
One of the main recurring activities is the annual EURECHA Process Design Contest.
Meet the winner of the 2026 edition of the contest at the CAPE Forum 2026 in Salamanca, Spain!
Past activities
The EURECHA Process Design Contest (previously EURECHA Student Contest) has been running for several years. A selection of past topics and winning contributions is available here.
EURECHA has co-organized several events during the ESCAPE conference series, for example:
- Sessions related to education at several past ESCAPE conferences
- Workshops on “Effective Course Development” at ESCAPE-35 (Ghent, Belgium, 2025) and ESCAPE-36 (Sheffield, UK, 2026)
