Transatlantic alliance

The Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) will see both organisations commit to collaboration in process safety education, CPD products and strategic leadership and direction.

The Texas A&M Engineering Experiment Station is home to the Mary Kay O'Connor Process Safety Centre, which houses one of the world's biggest process safety libraries and is regarded as a leader in process safety education.

IChemE chief executive David Brown commented: "Texas A&M and IChemE are both recognised as international leaders in the provision of process safety products and services. This new agreement will help us to share information more freely and cooperate on a range of new projects."
