Continuing the tradition of previous EKC, the scientific program is composed of 11 different areas with 44 specific sessions. The ECT2017 program will provide excellent opportunities for those scientists and engineers to exchange ideas and develop avenues for networking and research collaboration between South Korea and the rest of the world.
