The Sustainable Industrial Processing Summit and Exhibition (SIPS) is a yearly event that is deeply science-focused and industrial engineering-oriented, organized since 2003 by the not-for-profit corporation FLOGEN Stars Outreach, 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 and engineering domains in the pursuit of sustainable development, as well as specific science and engineering symposia that feature technical presentations with the same goals in mind.
The 2019 SIPS major symposium has been in honor of the distinguished work and lifetime achievements of CISM Secretary General Professor Bernhard A. Schrefler, a renowned figure in the field of geomechanics and its applications for sustainable development.
