2023 SUSTAINABLE INDUSTRIAL PROCESSING SUMMIT AND EXHIBITION
SIPS 2023 - Sustainable Industrial Processing Summit & Exhibition was held in Panama from 27 Nov – 1 Dec 2023 at the Dreams Playa Bonita Resort.
Following the rich tradition of previous years, the summit covered three actors of sustainability: (1) Science, Technology, and Industry (2) Governance and Management, and (3) Education and Civil Society.
This time, the summit honored the 2023 STARS of sustainable science, technology, and innovation. In alphabetical order,
they are:
Dr. Florian Kongoli, President of SIPS and President of FLOGEN, in a roundtable discussion with Dr.Haruhiko Inufusa, Prof. Joachim Frank, and Prof. Konstantin Novoselov
The honorees cover areas of materials sciences that appear distinct but are all mutually related and share a common theme of sustainability.
The summit incorporated 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; biochar, 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; quasicrystals; 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 pedagogy issues.
