Welcome

We are pleased to announce the joint celebration of the VII Iberoamerican Conference on Supercritical Fluids (PROSCIBA 2026) and the 4th Iberian Meeting on Supercritical Fluids (EIFS 2026), to be held in Centro de Congressos de Aveiro, Aveiro, Portugal, from October 25th to October 28th, 2026.
 
This joint event brings together two well-established conference series that have successfully promoted scientific exchange and collaboration within the Iberoamerican and Iberian supercritical fluids communities and will also mark the first time the PROSCIBA conference series crosses the Atlantic Ocean and takes place in the Iberian Peninsula.
 
Building on the success of previous PROSCIBA and EIFS editions, the conference will provide a shared forum for researchers, engineers, and industry professionals to present recent advances, discuss current challenges, and explore future perspectives and applications in the field of supercritical and high-pressure fluids.
