DESCRIPTION:The Inaugural Lecture of Professor Tony Kiss (followed by win
 e reception in B Floor\, Renold Building)\n\nDriving sustainable innovat
 ion in chemical engineering\n\nAbstract\nThe modern society faces many c
 hallenges of improving quality of life and economic prosperity while als
 o trying to reduce the impact and footprint of humankind activities on t
 he environment. In this context\, chemical engineering plays a strong ro
 le in driving sustainable innovation for a better world.\n\nThe lecture 
 will highlight key examples illustrating the substantial progress made o
 n several topics:\n-	Energy efficient chemical processes that exceed ope
 rational excellence and strive for tangible breakthroughs by sustainable
  process integration and intensification using a systems approach.\n-	De
 velopment of bio-based chemicals and energy area where lays a whole worl
 d of undiscovered innovations in biofuels production\, biomass refining 
 and introduction of new separation methods\n-	Value creation from waste\
 , which is made possible by developing and optimising new processing met
 hods and separation processes\, and by improving strategies to reduce/re
 cycle/reuse waste\n\nThe chair aims to conduct research that is fundamen
 tally interesting and with important applications\, while at the same be
 ing innovative\, impactful\, insightful\, inspiring\, and also invaluabl
 e to the society. Frequent interactions between industry and academia ar
 e needed to enhance the practical skills of the students\, provide talen
 t for industry\, and foster open-innovation projects that make sustainab
 le growth possible. Linked to the Process Integration Research Consortiu
 m\, the plan is to build more bridges across the industrial and academic
  research in the field of chemical process technology.\n\nAbout Tony Kis
