We are delighted to invite you to Chemeca 2010, the annual Conference hosted by the Institution of Chemical Engineers in Australia (IChemE), Engineers Australia (EA), the Royal Australian Chemical Institute (RACI) and the SCENZ-IChemE in New Zealand. These bodies represent over 100,000 engineers and chemists working across the world.

Chemeca 2010 will be of interest to those in industry, government and private research organizations, schools and academia who have any association or interest in the industrial chemistry, chemical technology, chemical & process engineering, energy technology and materials engineering fields as broadly defined.

Chemeca 2010 will not only be a showcase for new knowledge but also a forum to discuss current issues. It is an excellent opportunity to listen to and share our vision with leaders of the profession from industry, government and academia. Chemeca 2010 also provides the opportunity for the technology and service providers to promote their products and services to the sector.

The Organizing Committee is very pleased to be able to announce that a number of international journals have agreed to publish special issues of papers derived from those presented at Chemeca 2010. Contributions to these special issues will be by invitation only based on the quality of the contribution to Chemeca 2010.

To date, the following top-rated international journals have all agreed to host special issues:

• Safety Science (Elsevier)
• Chemical Engineering Research and Design (IChemE)
• Biochemical Engineering Journal (Elsevier)
• Experimental Thermal and Fluid Sciences (Elsevier)
• Energy & Fuels (American Chemical Society)
• Biomicrofluidics (American Institute of Physics)
• Powder Technology (Elsevier)
• Advanced Powder Technology (The Society of Powder Technology Japan; Elsevier)
• Asia-Pacific Journal of Chemical Engineering (John Wiley & Sons Ltd)

We are also in discussions with the editors of other highly-rated international journals in the nanotechnology, and engineering education fields and hope to be able to announce further partnerships soon.
