That these visions complement each other is partly by design: each author was given a particular remit, with the intention of covering the whole range of chemical engineering activity and its place in the world, whilst avoiding too much overlap. Some common themes are immediately apparent, and indeed were widely discussed at the Congress. The role of Sustainable Development and the contribution of engineers and companies to it is a feature of all the visions. Changes in industry and in modes of working, the shift of manufacturing to lower-wage economies, and the need to deal with very rapid advances in science and technology, the implications for University courses, exercise the visionaries, just as they did delegates to the Congress. These, and many other issues you will find discussed here.They are presented here as views from a particular time , but as visions of some future period, they are, from their very different perspectives, essentially timeless.
