Welcome to the Asian Pacific Confederation of Chemical Engineering (APCChE)
Established in 1975 through the efforts of Professor T. Mizushina of Kyoto University, the Asian Pacific Confederation of Chemical Engineering (APCChE) brings together chemical engineering organisations across the Asia-Pacific region. With member societies representing 15 countries and regions — including China, Japan, South Korea, India, Australia, and more — APCChE serves as a collaborative platform dedicated to advancing chemical engineering for the benefit of society.
As the third regional confederation formed after those in the Americas and Europe, APCChE plays a vital role in fostering international cooperation, knowledge sharing, and professional exchange in a previously underserved part of the world. Corresponding members such as AIChE (USA), CSChE (Canada), DECHEMA (Germany), and IChemE (UK) further extend our global connections.
Our mission is to promote human welfare through the progress of chemical engineering. We strive to enhance education, organise international congresses, and encourage collaboration between professionals and institutions. APCChE is also a proud member of the World Chemical Engineering Council (WCEC), alongside European Federation of Chemical Engineering (EFCE) and InterAmerican Confederation of Chemical Engineering (IACCE), supporting broader global efforts to connect and elevate the discipline worldwide.
Join us in building a future where chemical engineering continues to inspire innovation and sustainable development across borders.
