i-SUP2010 Innovation for Sustainable Production 2010

"Greening the economy" is not just a hype where we simply need to color the economy green. It asks for a fundamental rethinking of our consumption and production pattern.

We must seek to integrate product and process design, make a proper choice of materials and energy used, to interconnect between industries both downstream and upstream
but also with neighbouring industries and residential areas.
Only then we will be able to really achieve the promise of a sustainable economy and sustainable development.

This path is not a path of less but a path of growth with respect for and in collaboration with others. The very nature of sustainable development implies the interconnection and intertwining of economy and ecology.
It will be a path of revolution and not of evolution. Therefore it is only logic that a large international conference aimed at innovative sustainable production methods tries to intertwine different disciplines and methodologies.

i-SUP2010 will cover 6 separate international congresses at the same time and the same location, each aimed at a specific target audience of industry leaders, universities, research institutes and decision makers, covering such wide fields as:

* Sustainable Production
* Sustainable Chemistry
* Sustainable Energy
* Materials for Sustainable Production
* Carbon dioxide capture and storage (CCS)
* In vitro methods replacing animal testing (CARDAM)

Each theme holds the contents of a full-fledged congress with key-note speakers, extended abstracts, presentations, appropriate poster sessions and their proper location.

The unique feature of i-SUP2010 lies in assembling 6 full quality international congresses at one large, attractive site i.e. Old Saint-John’s in Bruges.
The stimulating atmosphere and the opportunity for meeting and seeing other disciplines, scientists or industries offers the added value of i-SUP2010 over single topic international conferences.

i-SUP2010 believes that this integrated approach of meeting and conferencing will bring great benefit to all participants.
