We are proud to announce a remarkable milestone achieved by the IntechOpen publication “Automation”, edited by Dr. Florian Kongoli, CEO of FLOGEN Technologies Inc.
The book has officially surpassed 100,000 downloads, reflecting its wide reach, influence, and importance in the global scientific community. This outstanding number demonstrates the growing relevance of automation in shaping the future of sustainable industries; one of the core missions of the FLOGEN Sustainability Framework.
Notably, this publication was released in 2012, when Automation and AI were considered antisocial and faced significant skepticism. Today, more than a decade later, as predicted, Automation and AI are buzz words, wildly accepted and at the forefront of global discourse and innovation.
This milestone also aligns perfectly with the goals of SIPS (Sustainable Industrial Processing Summit), where automation and digital technologies are key pillars in advancing sustainable development across all sectors.
Dr. Kongoli’s leadership in advancing science and technology through collaborative publications and international summits continues to inspire professionals from academia, industry, and policy-making communities around the world.
We invite all readers, researchers, and innovators to explore this impactful work and join us in the movement toward a more automated, efficient, and sustainable future.

WILMINGTON, DE, USA, April 14, 2022 /EINPresswire.com/ - Dr Florian Kongoli delivered, upon invitation, an opening plenary lecture in the United Nations Headquarters in Geneva at the United Nations International Year of Glass 2022. He spoke about the sustainability framework and the role of science and technology at a time of energy crisis. He described science as a grand disruptor and a solution provider that has literally saved the world from precipices of history and is able to do so today also in the energy sector. Among others he considered an error of some European countries shutting down the nuclear reactors that produce clean electricity based only on the risk factor and the waste production. There is no technology without risk and without waste, he said, and it is the role of science and technology that can prevent the risk and process the waste sustainably. Shutting down all nuclear reactors while importing oil and gas from other countries is a short-sighted local solution that discounts the role of science and does not serve the global sustainable development. This conclusion was proven true in the war weeks later.
Dr. Florian Kongoli delivered the lecture at the opening ceremony of the United Nations Years of Glass 2022, held at the impressive Human Rights and Alliance of Civilization room in the United Nations Headquarters in Genava on 11 February 2022 and was viewed on live broadcasting by 4,211 persons from 72 Countries. Featuring 30 world-class speakers, the ceremony was officially opened by the Secretary General of United Nations António Guterres with welcome speeches of ambassadors/permanent representatives of Spain, Turkey, Egypt, and China and the chair Dr. Alicia Durán.

Industry and Commerce Chamber of Nancy
The industry and commerce chamber of Nancy is a beautiful example of the buildings built in this city before the first world war in the style of "art nouveau" (jugendStil in German). Other cities where this style was developed during the same period in time are Vienna, Brussels, and Barcelona. A nice account of this specific house can be found in Wikipedia:
https://fr.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chambre_de_commerce_et_d%27industrie_Grand_Nancy_M%C3%A9tropole_Meurthe-et-Moselle
At this moment, the house welcomes a special exhibition dedicated to the glasses, crystals and pieces of art related to the same period and which were produced in a glass factory that has now disappeared, but was a signature of the "art nouveau" style. The exhibition is organised by Francis d'Alascio, an academician of ALS. Live streamed videos of Dr. Kongolis visit to the Commerce Chamber can be seen below:

In follow up with its rich long-track and ice-breaker record of discovering and honoring engineering stars, FLOGEN honored John Starkey, President of Starkey Associates Inc., Canada, with Fray International Sustainability Award during its flagship event SIPS 2016, on 8 November 2016 in China. This is the first Award that goes to a consulting engineer of 25 years in mining industry without any postgraduate academic degree. The details of the Award with pictures and videos are given
here.
It is worth nothing that John Starkey in this FLOGEN post-award interview video says: "When you work in lower levels without recognition for many years, you never think of...an Award".
Well, this is in fact what FLOGEN Star Outreach does: discovers silent stars among engineers and scientists and bring them at the proper level of recognition.
In fact, after FLOGEN Fray International Sustainability Award, John Starkey was subsequently awarded for his contribution in Mining Industry by Canadian Institute of Mining with the Fellowship Award and Distinguished Speaker Award.
And this is not new for FLOGEN. Previous recipients of Fray International Sustainability Award that got further recognition are given
here.
We wish similar further successes to all 2016 FLOGEN Fray International Sustainability Award winners given during SIPS 2016 in China, in November 2016:

The deputy of Mont-Royal, Pierre Arcand, received last Friday the Fray International Sustainability Award from the 2015 Sustainable Industrial Processing Summit for his public policies related to mineral resources. The summit took place in Cancun, Mexico from June 29th to July 04th, where 400 presentations were given by personalities from 90 different countries.
Mr. Arcand is the Minister of Energy and Natural Resources, which includes the Northern Plan. "I am very proud to receive this recognition on my behalf and on behalf of all Quebecers" he declared. "We need to highlight the fact that this event also gives importance to the recognition of the role of scientists. We need to be proud for our successes in terms of sustainable development and greenhouse gas reduction. Quebec progresses in the right direction with its numerous scientists and engineers. They are pioneers of scientific development and it is important that they are recognized".
The trophy of the Fray International Sustainability Award was given to him by Doctor Florian Kongoli, who is also a resident of Town of Mont-Royal. Mr. Arcand had addressed the summit with a video-speech, which earned him the trophy in the category of politics for his career and for his impact on the sustainable development of Quebec.
During his presentation, Mr. Arcand highlighted the Northern Plan and focused on the sustainable development of minerals resources, development of the sustainable energy projects and on the construction of transport infrastructure. The social and environmental aspects were also included.
"The Northern Plan will not impede Quebec willingness to reduce greenhouse gases, assured Mr. Arcand at his presentation. We are committed to promote clean energy and energy efficiency."
The award and its trophy was created in honor of Derek J. Fray, Professor Emeritus at the University of Cambridge, UK. Professor Fray has written over 400 scientific papers and has nearly 180 patents in 60 different patent families. He has also received numerous honors by the most prestigious universities in the world.
The purpose of this award is to recognize the work of several personalities or entities among politicians, businesses and academics for achievements related to the development of science and new technologies aiming at sustainable development.
The award follows the "sustainable development triangle", a philosophy developed by Florian Kongoli. Each corner of the triangle represents Politics, reflecting the role of political framework; Industry, reflecting the role of applied Industrial technologies; Academia, reflecting the role of education and development of new basic technologies.
In order to be effective in terms of sustainability, these three corners should closely interact and cooperate with each other.

The following is the PREFACE written by Dr. Florian Kongoli:
Preface
Automation is closely related to the modern need for sustainable development in the 21st century. One of the principles of sustainability is "Doing More with Less" which in other
words, is also one of the goals of automation. By replacing the routine part of human
labor with the use of machines, automation not only increases productivity and the
quality of products beyond what can be achieved by humans but also frees space, time
and energy for humans to deal with the new, non-routine challenge of developing
innovative and more advanced technologies. This magnificent cycle in which established
developments are automated and the free resources achieved by this automation are
used to develop newer technologies that are subsequently automated is one of the most
successful recipes for the human race towards the goal of sustainable development.
Automation as a new discipline emerged in the second half of the 20th century and quickly attracted some of the brightest scientists in the world. Although in the beginning its theory and industrial applications were mostly in the electrical, mechanical, hydraulic and pneumatic fields, the computer revolution has made possible the "invasion" of automation in all fields of life without exception. This phenomenon has perpetuated itself by such a degree that today computerization and automation can hardly be clearly distinguished from one another. This is also reflected in the contents of this book where interesting contributions cover various fields of technical as well as social sciences. At first sight it seems that the chapters of the book have nothing in common since they cover different fields and are directed only to specialists in their respective domains. In fact, they are bound together by the need for automation in the various routine aspects of our lives and it is here where the overlapping interest of the reader is expected. In order to facilitate and encourage broad interest from scientists of various fields, each chapter starts similarly with a plain and simple description of the related scientific field where automation is applied, a short review of previous achievements, and a capsule detailing what the new developments are.

Her Queen Elizabeth II |
![]() Dr. Florian Kongoli |
On May 30, 2011, Dr. Florian Kongoli wrote a letter to Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II and the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge where among others he called upon her Majesty to play her role to properly honor engineers and scientists at least at the same level as other players in society are honored.
In this letter, among others, Dr. Florian Kongoli wrote:
Montreal, QC, Canada, May 30, 2011
Your Majesty
First allow me to thank Your Majesty for the great contribution Your Majesty has given to acknowledge the role of many famous and deserving personalities that have given a great contribution in the world, especially in the fields of politics and arts.
However, it can be sadly noticed today generally in the world, that a great deal of acknowledgement as "stars" of our society is mostly given to politicians and artists. The scientists are mostly forgotten. Although we cannot imagine the world today without cell phones and the internet, the scientists that invented them are not at all known. This affects badly the aspirations of future generations. For example, in a recent poll in Italy, 95% of Italian teenagers wanted to be TV stars in the future. Science and engineering were not even on the list. If a similar poll would have been taken in UK the results would not have been very different. The same can be said for all developed countries where the number of science and engineering students is drastically falling. As Your Majesty may understand we are all very deficient today in acknowledging the scientists. I am just refraining myself from enumerating many examples in this direction.
As a scientist, while having the highest respect for politicians and artists, I would like for the profession of scientists to be more acknowledged in the world. This is because if we spell the real truth as it is there are primarily scientists and engineers who send the world ahead. They, in fact, make possible the "star" development even in politics and society: an example is the role of the internet in precipitating the revolutionary events in the Arab World. Another example is that a sustainable and clean world of tomorrow will mostly be achieved through new scientific developments before anything else...
The English Monarchy is well known in the world for its ability to bring positive change and adapt in itself. I guess that this gesture would bring to it another leading role in acknowledging the famous scientists of the world...
I very much hope to have the high honor and the privilege of Your Majesty's help in acknowledging the great work of scientists around the world.

Dr. Florian Kongoli received a reply, on June 15, 2011, which was private and confidential.
Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II acted by establishing "The Queen Elizabeth Prize for Engineering", a £1m award biennial worldwide prize which in fact complements the Nobel Prize since it lacks a category in engineering.
"The Queen Elizabeth Prize for Engineering" was registered as Charity, 3.5 months after the letter of Dr. Kongoli, on September 13th, 2011 ( click here to see the official registration: http://opencharities.org/charities/1143790 )
The prize was officially launched 5.5 months later on November 17th, 2011 by Lord Browne, chairman of the Queen Elizabeth Prize Foundation, and endorsed by Prime Minister David Cameron and all parliamentary parties. More details on the announcement can be found on BBC News http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/science-environment-15770648.
It is very interesting to watch the speech of Prime Minister David Cameron embedded in the above link, especially the part in which he shares the same ideas and words written by Dr. Florian Kongoli in the letter directed to Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II and the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge about 6 months earlier.
It is also very interesting to note that "The Queen Elizabeth Prize for Engineering" was officially launched merely 2 weeks before the start of the record-breaking Fray International Symposium dedicated to Cambridge University Professor Derek. J. Fray (www.flogen.com/FraySymposium/). It was this symposium, among others, that served as an impulse for Dr. Florian Kongoli to write to Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II and the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge.
This was of course one of the successes that Dr. Florian Kongoli and the non-profitable organization FLOGEN STARS OUTREACH (www.flogen.org) reached in their mission to properly honor engineers and scientists.
