  1. Chemical Process Engineering and Forest Products Research Centre (Centro de Investigação em Engª dos Processos Químicos e dos Produtos da Floresta) CIEPQPF Department of Chemical Engineering Maria Graça Rasteiro

  2. Mission Established in 1994 with the objective of creating a structured framework for the research activities in the Chemical Engineering Department (DEQ) of FCTUC (Science Program) • To consolidate the accumulated know-how in strategic areas in the field of Chemical Engineering. To promote an interdisciplinary and integrated approaches to problems. • To establish the connection between basic research and technological applications. • Contribute to the reduction of the environmental impact of Chemical Processes (environmentally friendly production processes; process optimization; new materials; advanced technologies for wastewater treatment and remediation) Special emphasis on processes related to Forest Products. • To Promote multilateral cooperation between CIEPQPF and other national and international scientific entities. • To support graduate and postgraduate education in the field of Chemical Engineering, at DEQ of FCTUC.
