Welcome from the Chair
Dear Colleagues,
We are pleased to announce the 4th International Electronic Conference on Processes - Sustainable Process Design, Engineering, Control and Systems Innovation (ECP 2025), which will be hosted online from 20 to 22 October 2025.
This conference will present the latest studies in process/system-related research in the fields of chemistry, biology, pharmaceuticals, nutraceuticals, materials, energy, environment, food, and engineering. The goal is to highlight the status, challenges and opportunities as well as future trends in process/systems engineering.
All processes/system-related scientists or researchers are welcome to join this event and share their insights on the following general and related topics, including, but not limited to, the following:
S1: Environmental and Green Processes
S2: Chemical Processes and Systems
S3: Food Process Engineering
S4: Process Control and Monitoring
S5: Materials Manufacturing and Sustainable Packaging
S6: Pharmaceutical Processing and Particle Processes
Submitted abstracts will be reviewed by the conference committee. All accepted abstracts will be available online in Open Access form on Sciforum.net during and after the conference. Following the conference, selected contributions will be invited for submission to the Processes journal (ISSN: 2227-9717, Impact Factor: 2.8), with a 20% discount on the publication fee.
We look forward to having you join us at this exciting event.

2. The abstract should include an introduction, methods, results, and conclusion sections, and be within 200-300 words in length.
4. All abstracts should be submitted and presented in clear, publication-ready English with accurate grammar and spelling.
5. You may submit multiple abstracts. However, only one abstract will be selected for oral presentation.
6. All abstracts accepted for presentation will be collected in a book of abstracts, which will be published on the website after the conference.
7. The abstracts submitted to this conference must be original and novel, without prior publication in any journals or it will not be accepted to this conference.
1. The submitting author must ensure that all co-authors are aware of the contents of the abstract.
2. Please select only one presenter for each submission. If you would like to change the presenter after submission, please email us accordingly.
Note: We only accept live presentations.
The slot for the oral presentation is 15 minutes. We recommend a 12-minute presentation, leaving about 3 minutes for a Q&A session.

It is the authors' responsibility to identify and declare any personal circumstances or interests that may be perceived as inappropriately influencing the representation or interpretation of clinical research. If there is no conflict, please state "The authors declare no conflicts of interest." This should be conveyed in a separate "Conflict of Interest" statement preceding the "Acknowledgments" and "References" sections at the end of the manuscript. Any financial support for the study must be fully disclosed in the "Acknowledgments" section.
MDPI, the publisher of the Sciforum.net platform, is an open access publisher. We believe authors should retain the copyright to their scholarly works. Hence, by submitting an abstract to this conference, you retain the copyright to the work, but you grant MDPI the non-exclusive right to publish this abstract online on the Sciforum.net platform. This means you can easily submit your full paper (with the abstract) to any scientific journal at a later stage and transfer the copyright to its publisher if required.
Publication Opportunities
Participants in this conference are cordially invited to contribute a research article to the Special Issue, published in Processes (ISSN: 2227-9717 , Impact Factor: 2.8), with a 20% discount on the publication fee. All submitted papers will undergo MDPI’s standard peer-review procedure. The abstracts should be cited and noted on the first page of the paper.
Please note if you have IOAP/association discounts, conference discounts will be combined with IOAP/association discounts. Conference discounts cannot be combined with reviewer vouchers.
You are welcome to submit a proceeding paper (4-8 pages) to Engineering Proceedings journal (Indexed in Scopus, ISSN: 2673-4591) after the conference. Publication of the proceedings will be free of charge. Authors are asked to disclose that it is a proceeding paper of the ECP2025 conference paper in their cover letter.
