Chemical Process Research Engineering Institute - CPERI
The Chemical Process Engineering Research Institute (CPERI) was founded in 1985 in Thessaloniki, Greece. From 1987 to March 2000, CPERI was part of the Foundation for Research and Technology-Hellas (FORTH).
In March 2000, CPERI became a founding member of the new research center, the National Centre for Research and Technology-Hellas (CERTH), established in Thessaloniki. CERTH reports to the General Secretariat of Research and Technology (GSRT) of the Ministry of Development.
CPERI's new research facilities, built with the financial support of European Union and GSRT, are located at the Technology Park of Thessaloniki (TPT) in Thermi.
Currently, six laboratories, organized into three research and development divisions, are in full operation at the Institute. The activities of the laboratories are supported by a horizontal technical division, which involves the large pilot-plant units and the analytical department. More specifically, the present organization of CPERI has as follows:
