Welcome to the 2018 Sustainable Industrial Processing Summit and Exhibition. Following the rich tradition of previous years, the summit will cover 3 sustainability pillars: (1) Science, Technology & Industry, (2) Governance & Management and (3) Education & Civil Society.

This time, the summit honors the 2018 STARS of sustainable science, technology, and innovation. In alphabetical order, they are:

• Ing. Paulo Afonso Gomes, B.Sc. - 2018 honoree with Afonso International Symposium on Advanced Sustainable Iron and Steel Making
• Prof. Christian Amatore - 2018 honoree with Amatore International Symposium on Electrochemistry for Sustainable Development
• Prof. Rasmus Fehrmann - 2018 honoree with Fehrmann International Symposium on Sustainable Molten Salt and Ionic Liquid Processing
• Prof. Athanasios Mamalis - 2018 honoree with Mamalis International Symposium on Advanced Manufacturing of Advanced Materials and Structures with Sustainable Industrial Applications
• Prof. Michael Zehetbauer - 2018 honoree with Zehetbauer International Symposium on Science of Intelligent and Sustainable Advanced Materials (SISAM)

The honorees cover areas of sciences that may look distinct, but are mutually related and share sustainability as a common thread.

The summit simultaneously incorporates numerous International Symposia covering the fields of: iron and steel making; electrochemistry; molten salt and ionic liquids; advanced materials; advanced manufacturing; advanced technologies; aluminum; batteries; bio-extraction; cement; coal; coatings; composites; ceramics; ecosystems; education; energy production; environment; ferro-alloys; mathematics; metallic systems; metals and alloys; minerals; mining; multiscale materials; nanomaterials; non-ferrous smelting and hydro/electrochemical processing; quasi-crystals; rare earth and platinum group metals; recycling; and rotary kiln operations. The topics within each symposia span across scientific, technological, environmental, health, legal, management, financial, policy, taxation, social, and pedagogy issues.

The summit will be held at the Rio Othon Palace, a spectacular ocean-front hotel in the heart of Rio de Janeiro, on the famous Copacabana beach. This beautiful and vibrant city is full of history and heritage, and is home to several world class institutions, landmarks, and events. Rio de Janeiro is thus an exceptional location for the outstanding scientists, technologists, and engineers, whose impressive work and dedication have deeply impacted the world in a sustainable way.

We are looking forward to seeing you all there as authors and active participants.
