This major symposium is in honor of the distinguished work and lifetime achievements of Prof. Patrizia Trovalusci, well-known for her contribution on multiscale and multifield modelling of ‘complex’ materials. It will be held as part of the combined SIPS 2020 and 2021 (SIPS 2020&2021), an annual event that is deeply science-focused and industrial engineering-oriented, and incorporates 40 various symposia fields linked together by sustainability. The symposium is organized by the not-for-profit corporation FLOGEN Stars Outreach (www.flogen.org), 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 symposium and overall summit are planned to be held in Phuket, Thailand from November 28th – December 2nd 2021.
