Welcome

In 2026 we proudly continue the unique and longest tradition of chemical engineering congresses in the world – 64 years of CHISA. Welcome to the website of the 28th International Congress of Chemical and Process Engineering – CHISA 2026.

What makes CHISA truly unique is its almost family-like atmosphere: students and young researchers meet world-renowned experts at the same table, creating space for genuine networking, exchange of ideas, and intergenerational connections. This spirit of openness and collaboration is the hallmark of CHISA, making every edition a special experience.

The CHISA series began in 1962 in Brno, Czechoslovakia, and since 1972 has been hosted in Prague, in the very heart of Europe. The name CHISA originates from the Czech acronym for "Chemical Engineering, Chemical Equipment Design and Automation" and soon became a symbol of major international meetings bridging East and West, and later uniting the global chemical engineering community. Over the decades, CHISA has grown from a European initiative into one of the most respected world congresses in chemical engineering and process industries.

We look forward to welcoming you to CHISA 2026 in Prague, 23–27 August 2026.
