Welcome from the Chair

Dear Colleagues,

We are pleased to announce the 5th International Electronic Conference on Processes, which will be hosted online from 20 to 22 October 2026.

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:

Session 1. Environmental and Green Processes;
Session 2. Chemical Processes and Systems;
Session 3. Food Process Engineering;
Session 4. Process Control, Monitoring and Machine Learning;
Session 5. Materials Manufacturing and Sustainable Packaging;
Session 6. Energy Systems.

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, participants are cordially invited to contribute a research article 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.

2.1 Abstract submissions should be completed online by registering with www.sciforum.net and using the "New Submission" function once logged into the system. No physical submission is necessary.
2.2 The abstract should include an introduction, methods, results, and conclusion sections, and be within 200-300 words in length.

2.3 All abstracts should be submitted and presented in clear, publication-ready English with accurate grammar and spelling.
2.4 You may submit multiple abstracts. However, only one abstract will be selected for oral presentation.
2.5 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.

The slot for the oral presentation is 15 minutes. We recommend a 12-minute presentation, leaving about 3 minutes for a Q&A session.

Authors are encouraged to prepare a presentation in PowerPoint or similar software, to be displayed online along with the abstract. Slides, if available, will be displayed directly on the website using the proprietary slide viewer at Sciforum.net. Slides can be prepared in exactly the same way as for any traditional conference where research results are presented. Slides should be converted to PDF format prior to submission so that they can be converted for online display.

5. Poster Gallery

- Should include the title, authors, contact details and main research findings, as well as tables, figures and graphs where necessary.
- Size in pixel: 1080 width x 1536 height–portrait orientation.
- Size in cm: 38,1 width x 54,2 height–portrait orientation.
- Font size: ≥16.
- Examples of successful submissions can be viewed here at the following links: (1), (2), (3).
- You can use our free template to create your poster.

The poster template can be downloaded HERE. We will reach out to you closer to the dates of the conference with more information.

Authors with accepted abstracts have the option to showcase their research as a poster. This offers an excellent opportunity to showcase your research and engage with the wider conference community. Once your submission is accepted, you can upload your poster in the 'My submission' section by selecting the correct conference and submission, then clicking the upload button. If you encounter any difficulties during the upload process, please contact ecp2026@mdpi.com for assistance. All accepted posters will be permanently displayed online in the Poster Gallery.

6. Potential Conflicts of Interest
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.

7. Copyright
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

1. Processes Publication
Participants in this conference are cordially invited to contribute a research article to the Special Issue (to be updated), published in Processes (ISSN: 2227-9717, Impact Factor: 2.8), with a 20% discount on the publication fee if the paper can be accepted for publication. 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 that if you have IOAP/association discounts, conference discounts will be combined with IOAP/association discounts. Conference discounts cannot be combined with reviewer vouchers.
