SIPS, that stands for Sustainability through Science and Technology, is firmly based on FLOGEN Sustainability Framework which has 3 criteria that must be fulfilled simultaneously to achieve sustainability: Economic Growth, Environmental Protection and Social Development. The framework has three actors that can either help or hinder sustainability: Science and Technology, Governance and Management and Education and Civil Society. These actors can be viewed as 3 pillars of a table. This paper will show that SIPS has science and technology in forefront as an actor to achieve sustainability in each of its criteria but includes also the other 2 pillars since they are equally important as the pillars of a table with three pillars. All components of Science and Technology (both fundamental and applied) and components of Governance and Management and Education and Civil Society are shown and analyzed as integral part of SIPS content.
