It is necessary to design the future society, envision the necessary processes, and seek the appropriate elemental technologies to achieve carbon neutrality. The Society of Chemical Engineers, Japan (SCEJ) is working to develop and deepen specific case studies, technologies and academic systems by strengthening cooperation with local industries and communities.
Following symposiums held at every annual meeting and fall meeting since March 2020, we will hold a symposium with invited lectures, requested lectures, and a panel discussion on energy and environmental innovation and its social implementation in the afternoon on March 14, the day before the 88th Annual Meeting. We would like to discuss how to optimize the conversion of waste, forest biomass, and CO2 as carbon sources into chemicals and fuels, setting the region, Japan, and the entire world as the boundary.
Interactive comments on each lecture will be available during the symposium through GOING VIRTUAL. The symposium will be open to the public with free of charge to all participants, and we hope that many of you will join us in discussing the future society that chemical engineering will innovate, and that these activities will contribute to the promotion of interdisciplinary research and academic development of the society.
Registration is FREE for audiences attending only for the public sessions (SP-1, SP-2, HC-11) as an audience (not as a speaker). See Details

Expectations for startups are increasing as a key drivers for sustainable economic growth. The Japan's government has positioned 2022 as the "startup year for creating startups," and has announced a 5-year plan by the end of the year to increase the number of startups that are key to innovation by 10 times over the next five years.
Under these circumstances, expectations are rising not only for tech startups that utilize IT technology, but also for deep tech startups that solve deep-seated social issues with cutting-edge technology. A typical tech-startup aims for a few months development cycle, a market launch in a few years, and an IPO or M&A exit in about five years. On the other hand, deep tech startups face difficulties such as a long period of time to bring products to market, the capital required for development is more than an order of magnitude larger, mismatch between R&D personnel and management personnel, miscommunication between R&D personnel and investors, etc.
We organized this symposium to discuss the possibility of creating startups and changing society from the standpoint of the Society of Chemical Engineers, a place where academia with deep tech seeds gather.
Registration is FREE for audiences attending only for the public sessions (SP-1, SP-2, HC-11) as an audience (not as a speaker). See Details

The Society of Chemical Engineers, Japan presented the Sapporo Declaration titled "Declaration on the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) - Chemical Engineering for Human Well-Being" at APCChE 2019. With the SDGs as our shared vision, our primary objective is for chemical engineers to contribute to the promotion of human wellbeing through the advancement of chemical engineering and related technologies, in order to change from Efficiency to Sufficiency, from a society that pursues efficiency to a society where people can feel sufficiency.
To realize the Sapporo Declaration, symposia have been held at the Fall and Annual Meetings on themes related to the Declaration, such as "Realization of Circular Economy in Collaboration with Diverse Players," "Contribution of Chemical Engineering to Safe Water," and "Future Chemical Factory with Diversity and Decent Work." And group discussions have been held to deepen discussions with all participants from inside and outside the society.
In this symposium, with the theme "From Efficiency to Sufficiency, Transformation from a Society Pursuing Efficiency to a Society Feeling Sufficiency," the results of activities undertaken by the members of the SDGs Committee will be reported and discussed. More specifically, the results are summarized into the basic concepts of (1) Efficiency and Sufficiency are not opposing concepts, but rather Efficiency + Sufficiency; (2) Engineers need to recognize that they are working together with users and citizens to create a society; and (3) It is important to consider what each region needs (social issues to be solved), whether existing technologies are compatible with those needs, and if not, what kind of technologies are needed. The shared vision of the Sapporo Declaration will be embodied by discussing and integrating opinions and ideas with people from diverse fields, and the way to "Chemical Engineering for a Desired Future Society" will be explored.
