The seminar was delivered by the expert Eng.ª Helena Pereira, and the event was a jointly organized by the Delegação Distrital de Aveiro da Ordem dos Engenheiros and the Núcleo de Estudantes de Engenharia Química da Universidade de Aveiro.

The Egichem student Elaine Fabre delivered a presentation in the ICECM 2019 (International Conference on Environment, Chemistry and Management), which took place at the Hotel Pennsylvania (New York, USA) from the 22nd to 23th of April of 2019. 

Briefly, this conference aims to bring together leading academic scientists, researchers and research scholars to exchange and share their experiences and research results on all aspects of Environment, Chemistry and Management. It also provides a premier interdisciplinary platform for researchers, practitioners and educators to present and discuss the most recent innovations, trends, and concerns as well as practical challenges encountered and solutions adopted in the fields of Environment, Chemistry and Management.

 Elaine Fabre  delivered the following oral presentation at the conference:
