Research and New Technology Committee

Welcome to the AIChE Research and New Technology Committee (RANTC) website.

The many AIChE divisions, forums and institutes all focus on various key areas of the profession. In doing so they maintain the discipline and nurture continuous growth and improvement of chemical engineering profession.

RANTC was chartered by and is a part of the AIChE Chemical Engineering Technology Operating Council (CETOC). RANTC works with our members to explore and, where appropriate assist in developing new areas of relevancy to AIChE. The RANTC role, therefore, is to look out over the horizon and identify new areas of programming interest brought to us by AIChE members.

Some examples of areas that have entered in through the RANTC portal include:

Nanotechnology
Bioinformatics
Bio-Engineering
Sustainability

All have now found homes as part of the rich fabric of the AIChE technical community.

RANTC meets twice a year, at the fall and spring conferences. Our meetings are open to all conference participants and you are welcome to attend and either listen to the presentations or bring your own ideas to the table.
