First Materials Science Forum on Future Sustainable Technologies

摘要

An informative and at the same time strategic discussion meeting between scientists, high-ranking industrial leaders, and politicians is planned to highlight the crucial role of materials for the development and the implementation of sustainable technologies. Based on the present state of affairs and the problems of a partly devastating utilization of resources, products, and fuel, new approaches and strategies for the design and production of sustainable and appropriate functional materials and efficient processes will be discussed. The aim of the meeting is the exchange of ideas and experiences on environmentally benign synthesis routes and utilization of materials by efficient and economically feasible process technologies.The discussions during this meeting will be inspired by the newest political decisions of the Rio+10 world conference held in Johannesburg two weeks before.
