The Joint Chemical Engineering Committee (JCEC) would like to invite you to the seventh annual postgraduate research competition. The competition aims to showcase the latest in chemical engineering research being conducted by postgraduate students in WA.

Finalists:
One finalist from Curtin University, The University of Western Australia, Edith Cowan University, and Murdoch University will be selected to represent their institution. It is up to the university to nominate a postgraduate student to represent their institution.

Event Format:
After a brief introduction, each finalist will give a presentation regarding their research and its significance to the chemical engineering field. Preceding this, a short Q&A will be had to allow the audience to ask any questions regarding the presenter’s research. The judges will announce the winners and there will be the opportunity to network afterwards.

The competition will be judged by an independent panel of engineers using four criteria:

• presentation

• significance to chemical engineering

• application in industry

• novelty
