The ACPN Award Ceremony will be held during the 10th International Workshop on Advances in Cleaner Production (IWACP). Two researchers representing the new and the senior generation of Advances in Cleaner Production Network (ACPN) will be chosen.
The Award
The Advances in Cleaner Production (ACPN) Award is inspired on the logo of the International Workshop on Advances in Cleaner Production 2007. The biosphere elements - nature and society - are represented the trees and the buildings. The primary driving force of the natural services used by society, solar renewable energy, transforms and circulates within the ecosystem. The arrow represents the ideal resource flow in the biosphere as the basis of the planet’s sustainability.
The highest building is the icon building of the Paulista University representing symbolically a teaching and research institution not only as the highest and the most prominent institution in a sustainable society, but also the institution where the International Workshop and Network on Advances in Cleaner Production was founded.
