NaWuReT: The Early-Career Network for Chemical Reaction Engineering

NaWuReT (dt. “Nachwuchsreaktionstechnik”) is the early-career network of the DECHEMA Section on Chemical Reaction Engineering. Since its founding in 2011, it has connected early-career reaction engineers from academia and industry, created spaces for exchange across generations, and supported professional development through recurring formats such as the NaWuReT Colloquium, summer schools, and the NaWuReT-Grant for international research stays. This article summarizes NaWuReT's origins, its role within DECHEMA, and the activities through which the network strengthens community building, international collaboration, and education in chemical reaction engineering.
