Processing '20 is to be held on September 10 and 11, 2020
– depending on health situation in the Republic of Serbia

Processing ’20 is the thirty-third international congress on process industry organised by the Society for Process Engineering within SMEITS (Serbian Union of Mechanical and Electrical Engineers and Technicians), in cooperation with the Department of Process Engineering of the Faculty of Mechanical Engineering of Belgrade.

The programme of Processing ’20 will focus on the use of renewable energy sources and reduction of negative environmental impacts caused by plants in various fields of process industry.

The special topic of Processing ’20 is the application of the circular economy concept for the purpose of meeting the targets of sustainable development in reduction of harmful emissions, introduction of renewable energy sources, and production and trade of sustainable products, i.e. the closing of the product-waste-product circle in different fields of process industry.
