Together more sustainable
On 4 and 5 April, the NPS17 took place in the Aula Conference Centre of Delft University of Technology. We look back on a very successful event with fantastic main speakers and performances and very interesting parallel sessions and poster presentations. Thanks to everyone who was there for your contribution to this success!
NPS17 was postponed last year due to COVID-19. But we were glad to provide a series of webinars on the theme 'sustaining the future’ which created a platform to connect and exchange ideas. In line with this, the theme of NPS17 was ‘Together more sustainable’. The goal of the conference was to highlight academic research in sustainable process technology and connect it with needs from society, SMEs, and industry. Therefore, this was a great opportunity to share and absorb sustainable ideas by meeting process engineering enthusiasts from these sectors in the Netherlands and beyond.
Keep an eye on this website for the time being, because we will post here as soon as possible all the information we can share to look back on this event.
Did you have a good time? Give your feedback!
Thank you very much for attending NPS17 on April 4 and 5. We experienced this event as an enjoyable and educational gathering and we hope you feel the same way. In order to get a good picture of this, learn from experiences and perhaps give the next NPS organization some suggestions, we would like to ask you some questions. In general, this list requires very little of your time.
Thank you for your time.

Tech Comedy and Science Communication by Barry Fitzgerald
Tech talk on April 4 at 16:00 hrs and Communication talk on April 5 at 13:20 hrs in Auditorium
Dr. Barry Fitzgerald is a physicist by training, author, speaker trainer, YouTuber, podcaster, and an energetic science communicator. He has spoken around the world about various topics in science and engineering at schools, universities, science festivals, and companies. For example, he spoke at TEDxBerlin 2019 about “Being a Responsible Superhero”. Barry is currently working at TU/e as a science communication officer. He’s an avid superhero fan, he’s seen the 2012 film The Avengers more than 80 times, and his superpower will remain a closely guarded secret.
Talk 1: A popular culture view on process technologies
Believe or not, but future advancements in process technologies could be influenced by popular culture elements such as films and comic books! Get ready to find how superheroes and Star Wars could guide your future research.
Talk 2: The fine art of science communication
Science communication is more than just telling the general public about your work. It’s also about making sure that you communicate with your peers in a clear and transparent manner. The absence of effective communication can negatively affect academic collaborations and the potential to work with new industrial partners. In this workshop, you’ll learn about the fine art of ‘scicomm’, and some tips and tricks to keep in mind when sharing your research with any audience.
Panel discussion
This year the NPS17 Panel Discussion will be held on Tuesday, April 5th in the main theatre of the auditorium of Delft University of Technology, Delft, The Netherlands. Prof.dr. Sascha Kersten from University of Twente as panel moderator will lead discussions on the following topic: ‘Sustainability in Chemical Engineering Curriculum (Educating for sustainability)’. The panel will include discussions about the role that education plays in the development of sustainable solutions, status and challenges, the perspective from academia, industry and community contexts, and how to benefit from working across disciplines as they propose options and their consequences for the future. Join us for an interesting session with academia and industry experts!
The panelists are:
Moderator: Sascha Kersten (Twente University)
Tjeerd Jongsma (ISPT)
Arian Nijmeijer (Shell)
Kim Ragaert (Maastricht University)
Martin van Sint Annaland (Eindhoven University of Technology)
