COBEQ-IC 2026 Boosts Chemical Engineering
Event at the State University of Campinas to Bring Together Hundreds of Students and Researchers in an Edition Marked by Innovation and Scientific Revival
The 16th edition of the Brazilian Congress of Chemical Engineering in Scientific Initiation (COBEQ-IC 2026) will be held at the State University of Campinas (UNICAMP), one of Latin America’s most prestigious institutions. The event is set to bring together students, researchers, and professionals from across Brazil in an environment focused on knowledge exchange, innovation, and scientific development in Chemical Engineering.
Recognized for its academic excellence and modern infrastructure, UNICAMP provides an ideal venue for the congress, with well-equipped rooms and spaces that encourage participant interaction. Additionally, the Campinas region stands out as a significant technological and industrial hub, offering opportunities for learning through technical visits and engagement with industry professionals.
The main goal of COBEQ-IC is to encourage undergraduate student participation in the scientific field, promoting the presentation of research, mini-courses, lectures, and debates. In this edition, a key innovation will be the prioritization of oral presentations over traditional poster sessions, aiming to boost audience engagement while reducing costs and environmental impact.
With innovative formats such as “pitch-style” presentations and the “3-minute thesis” model, the event seeks to make discussions more dynamic and interactive, fostering idea exchange and participant integration.
After the impacts of the pandemic in recent years, COBEQ-IC 2026 marks a milestone in the revival of scientific initiation in Brazil. The event is expected to host around 400 attendees and approximately 350 research works, reaffirming its status as one of the country’s most important events for nurturing new talent in Chemical Engineering.
More than just a congress, COBEQ-IC serves as a space connecting education, research, and industry, preparing students for future challenges and strengthening the national scientific community.
