Welcome to the Sustainability through Science and Technology / Sustainable Industrial Processing Summit 2023 (SIPS 2023), a yearly event that is deeply science-focused and technology & engineering-oriented, organized since 2003 by the not-for-profit corporation.
FLOGEN Stars Outreach (
www.flogen.org), which is dedicated to achieving sustainability through science and technology. It incorporates summit plenary lectures from well-known speakers that address the link between scientific, technology and engineering domains in the pursuit of sustainable development, as well as specific science, technology and engineering symposia that feature technical presentations with the same goals in mind.
Based on the FLOGEN Sustainability Framework given in the right side and 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.
SIPS 2023 is entirely dedicated to and bears the name of Prof. Stanley Whittingham, Nobel Laureate in Chemistry. Prof. Whittingham is a pioneer in discovering the role of Lithium in Lithium ion batteries that are very useful to conserve the energy and help one of the Sustainability issues of most recent times that one of conserving and saving energy. Lithium ion batteries has become indispensable in many fields of human life, from general Technologies, to Medicine and to all related Science and Technology fields. This is exactly the mission of SIPS to bridge and unify various fields of science and technology which is reflected, among others, in the following symposiums
-
Ozawa International Symposium (3rd Intl. Symp. on Oxidative Stress for Sustainable Development of Human Beings)
-
2nd Intl. Symp. on Technological Innovations in Medicine for Sustainable Development
-
Guerrant International Symposium (2nd Intl Symp. on COVID-19/Infectious Diseases & their implications on Sustainable Development)
The summit simultaneously incorporates numerous International Symposia covering the fields of: oxidative stress; medical innovations; green chemistry and polymers; physical chemistry; solid state chemistry; solution chemistry; electrochemistry; molten salt and ionic liquids; advanced materials; advanced manufacturing; advanced technologies; iron and steel making; 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 symposium span across scientific, technological, environmental, health, legal, management, financial, policy, taxation, social, and pedagogical issues.

Symposia" in the dropdown menu.
Under this unique SIPS multidimensional and multidisciplinary umbrella, the summit also honors the 2023 STARS of sustainable science, technology, and innovation with a specific symposium in their honor and bearing their name. In alphabetical order, they are:
The honorees cover areas of sciences that may look distinct, but are mutually related and share sustainability as a common thread.
