Committee

To achieve our goals, we are seeking enthusiastic individuals to join our committee and take on key roles such as Events and Webinar Coordinator, Social Media Coordinator, Newsletter Editor, IChemE Connect Representative, Webmaster, or simply to sit as critical friends.

If you have a keen interest in contributing to the advancement of particle technology and possess relevant drive or expertise, we encourage you to consider taking on one of these roles regardless of your career status. We are looking for expression of interest from people that would like to be part of this committee and shape the future direction of our SIG. If this is you, please email specialinterestgroups@icheme.org.
