First, let me thank you for the outstanding SIPS2024 conference last month in Agia Pelagia, Crete. It was a wonderful and moving event, I greatly enjoyed the symposium in my honor, which brought together so many friends, colleagues, and former group members from the four corners of the planet. It was a fantastic convergence, and I'm grateful to you and your team for organizing such a memorable occasion. The hotel and location were both excellent, and I appreciated the thoughtful arrangements for the banquet and the lively Greek night. It truly added a special touch to an already meaningful event.

It was a privilege to represent the NWU Faculty of Engineering during the SIPS2024 Sustainable Industrial Processing Summit, held at the Out of the Blue Resort, Crete, Greece. I had the opportunity to present two papers on behalf of the faculty and was honored to chair the "7th International Symposium on Sustainable Carbon and Biocoke and their Industrial Application". The conference, attended by 10 Nobel Laureates and many other distinguished guests, was a fantastic platform for engaging discussions and collaboration on sustainable industrial solutions. I'm excited about the future innovations and the incredible network of professionals contributing to a more sustainable future.

It was an honor to discuss sustainability and our company's approach at the symposium. I appreciate your positive acknowledgment.

../sips2023/img3/thumbs_6527.png Mr. Bertrand Cazes
Secretary General
Glass for Europe, Belgium

In our fast-moving world, it is not easy to spare 3 days to attend a conference. I am glad I did and joined the FLOGEN Stars Outreach SIPS2023 conference on #sustainability through science. It was an honor to co-chair one of the sessions on glass sustainability and to present Glass for Europe 2050 vision on flat glass in a climate neutral EU. One very positive take away for me: more and more people are looking into how we can boost the recycling of old glazing into new flatglass. The countless exchanges with the scientific community and engineers gathered were very enlightening. It is not every day that one has the chance to interact with so many distinguished researchers including Nobel Laureates, in such diverse fields of science.

I was truly impressed by the policy of SIPS expressed by Dr. Kongoli, that intends to keep the advancement of sustainable development society in political, academic and people's well fair at the same time. This is why that the SIPS2023 covers wide area of science and I felt the conference was in great success in the expressed policy.

../sips2023/img3/thumbs_6539.png Ms. Megan Householder

Amazing conference! Much nicer than others I have been to. The all-inclusive element was great, especially not worrying about having to choose meals before leaving and being able to choose at the hotel. The location was also amazing, as well as the company. The celebration dinners were a great element that made celebrating the science very special. I met several people and have a few project ideas for collaboration! Overall this felt like a once in a lifetime experience (but I hope it''s not because I'll be there next year)! Thank you so much!.

Glass Service Inc, Czech Republic

A HOT meeting with HOT topics. The UN International Year of Glass (#IYOG) team, along with several distinguished guests from the glass industry, had the honor of being invited to participate in the FLOGEN Stars Outreach SIPS2023 conference on sustainability through science in Panama. Attending the sessions on glass sustainability was a pleasure, and it was an opportunity for the GS Group to present its vision on carbon reduction in glass melting. For instance, considering a combination of increased electricity usage where feasible, transitioning to hydrogen in the future, and enhancing cullet recycling. Additionally, the discussions focusing on improving the recycling of flat glass proved to be incredibly valuable as part of the future solution. The numerous exchanges with the scientific community and gathered engineers were enlightening. It's not every day that one has the chance to interact with such a diverse group of distinguished researchers, including Nobel Laureates, spanning various fields of science. Professor Dr. Alicia Duran and I were honored to receive two Sustainability awards for our work, named after Nobel Laureates. This 3rd recognition this year motivates us even more to continue our efforts in the #AgeofGlass. We seldom had a so motivated audience to applaud our Award ceremony.

Never in my life did I imagine sitting next to two Nobel Prize winners, especially alongside Professor Stanley Whittingham, who developed lithium-ion batteries-a global initiative that, in my opinion, is crucial for real sustainable development. I would like to express my immense gratitude to Samarco for the opportunity, to my leaders Rodrigo Vilela and Sergio Mileipe who support ESG initiatives, to my colleagues who participated in the event and wrote exceptional articles: ANA MARIA BAILON, Raphael Dias de Medeiros, Giovanni Salierno, Mauricio Cota Fonseca, Alexandro Uliana, and our entire team that developed environmentally friendly and innovative initiatives for a different approach to mining. Moreover, it was a pleasure to see my professor and advisor Paulo Assis, as well as our Samarco's CEO Rodrigo Vilela, being honored by SIPS Florian Kongoli

../sips2023/img3/thumbs_4403.jpg Dr. Kenneth Poeppelmeier

This was my first time attending a SIPS event and it was an incredible experience. Dr. Kongoli was most generous and accommodating of my last-minute request to present at the plenary session for sharing how we can expand renewable energy worldwide to produce cheapest electricity and green hydrogen to meet the climate change challenge. This second talk allowed me to connect with many important people in iron & steel making industry and other organizations, and we have started a dialog on collaboration. This was my first-time presenting business plan, and I received much valuable feedback from important people in my industry, customers, and future collaborators. Thank you, Dr. Kongoli for building up SIPS to this level of eminence that launches many careers, businesses, and industries.
