This year's event focused on topics such as the electrification of large-scale chemical plants, circular economy and machine learning in the context of reactor and kinetics description. These and other topics from the field of reaction engineering were addressed and presented in the various lecture sessions. In addition to the presentations, there was time for intensive technical discussions on current research topics during the poster discussions.

The following five papers from Professor Busch's working group were presented at the annual meeting:

• Performance of Peroxide Cocktails in the High Pressure Polyethylene Process, Sandra Pietrasch, Svenja Albus, Lea Hoferichter, Lorenz Schmidt, Markus Busch (poster)
• Sampling Device for High-Pressure Polymerization Systems, Patryk Sewruk, Konstantin Lempp, Markus Busch (poster)
• Iterative Model Development for the High-Pressure Copolymerization of Ethene and Methyl Acrylate, Joshua Stahl, Laura Euler Bueno, Christoph Weigel, Markus Busch (poster)
• Sampling from Semi-Batch Emulsion Polymerization under Pressurized Conditions, Johanna Viernickel, Felix Warnecke^¹, Timo Melchin^¹, Kristina Zentel (poster)
• Solution and Emulsion Polymerization in Batch and Continuous Processes – Experiments and Modeling, Sandra Pietrasch, Ferel Issa, Kristina Zentel (poster)
