The 4th Baldyga Technical Seminar was held on July 3 - 4, 2025, at the Faculdade de Engenharia da Universidade do Porto (FEUP). Co-organized by LSRE-LCM/ALiCE members Ricardo Santos, Margarida Brito, Isabel Fernandes, and Isabel Barbosa, the event brought together PhD students and researchers to share technical experiences, address challenges, and exchange knowledge on mixing processes in chemical reactors.

Several LSRE-LCM PhD students and researchers were also part of the organizing committee, including Elham Delvar, Inês Oliveira, Laura Cullen, Margarida Peixoto, Maria Teresa Oliveira and Sofia Brandão. Moreover, Madalena Dias and José Carlos Lopes, both member of LSRE-LCM, provided essential support for the seminar.
