About NACES 2024
NACES is a prestigious platform where chemical engineering students are given the opportunity to showcase their creativity and innovation within the field. The competition aims to foster critical thinking, knowledge sharing, innovative ideas, and a strong sense of teamwork through competitive interactions. Since its inception, NACES has been hosted by various Malaysian universities offering chemical engineering programs in collaboration with the Institute of Chemical Engineers (IChemE) Malaysia. This annual competition brings together both local and international universities to compete in various categories related to chemical engineering. In 2023, NACES was hosted by the University of Malaya, with Universiti Kebangsaan Malaysia participating as an observer to enliven the atmosphere. Recognizing this, IChemE is pleased to announce Universiti Kebangsaan Malaysia as the host for NACES 2024.
