About IMRET

The 18th International Conference on Microreaction Technology (IMRET 18) is part of a globally recognized series that began in 1997 in Frankfurt, Germany. Since then, IMRET has been held across Europe, North America, Asia, and Australia, serving as a leading platform for the microreaction technology community.
IMRET brings together researchers, engineers, practitioners, and industry leaders from around the world to explore both scientific advances and practical applications in microreaction and flow chemistry. From fundamental studies to industrial-scale implementations, the conference fosters meaningful information exchange and international collaboration.
The upcoming IMRET 18 will be held from September 27 to 30, 2026, in Kyoto, Japan—a city where tradition meets innovation. Join us for four days of cutting-edge presentations, insightful discussions, and networking in one of Japan’s most inspiring cultural settings.
The program features plenary lectures, keynote lectures, as well as regular oral and poster presentations, covering a broad spectrum of topics in the field. IMRET encourages active participation from academia and industry alike, offering valuable opportunities for sharing the latest research findings, technologies, and best practices.
We look forward to welcoming you to Kyoto.
