Collaborations
IIChE maintains close association with various professional bodies at
home and abroad. It has
agreements of collaborations with leading global Institutes in the field
of Chemical Engineering,
namely, the Institution of Chemical Engineers, UK and the American
Institute of Chemical Engineers
(AIChE), USA, Canadian Institute of Chemical Engineers (CSChE), Canada
and Society of Chemical
Engineers, Japan (SCEJ).
IIChE is also a member of the Asia Pacific Confederation of Chemical
Engineering, Australia and a
corresponding member of the European Federation of Chemical Engineering,
Germany. The Institute
is a permanent invitee to DECHEMA, Germany. It became the first
organization from the developing
countries to join the Executive Committee of the World Chemical
Engineering Council, which was
formed in Melbourne in 2001. During 2003 - 2004, the Institute had
collaboration with InnoCentive
Inc., a US-based organization, offering a wide platform to the
international scientific community to
work on complex scientific problems and find their solutions.
At home, in 2002, IIChE joined Engineering Council of India (ECI) as a
member of its Board of
Governors. IIChE is working with ECI for enlisting chemical engineers in
National Registers for
Professional Engineers. The ECI is the apex body of professional and
consulting engineers in India,
representing various engineering disciplines. IIChE is also represented
at various committees/sub-
committees of Bureau of Indian Standards.
In recent years, on a few occasions, IIChE worked with FICCI on
developing a wide platform for
collaborations.
