Participation of NRRE/CPERI/CERTH at 14th Panhellenic Scientific Conference of Chemical Engineering, Thessaloniki

Dynamic presence of NRRE laboratory at the 14th Panhellenic Scientific Conference of Chemical Engineering, which took place in Thessaloniki from May 29th to 31st! NRRE contributed to the conference with 10 papers (7 oral presentations and 3 posters) and left a strong impression on the participants. The insightful research of NRRE is the result of fruitful collaborations, innovative projects and synergies with the academic world.
