SCOPE
The announcement of the
tenth International biennial Conference on Environmental Science and
Technology continues the well established tradition of a successful
series of CEST Conferences dating back to 1989. Like the previous
conferences this tenth conference maintains and upgrades the synthetic and
integrated approach towards protection and restoration of the environment,
by bringing together engineers, scientists, students, managers and other
professionals from different countries, involved in various aspects of
environmental science and technology. This synthetic approach, in
combination with the integration of environmental issues with economic and
social aspects, is a prerequisite for adopting sustainable solutions to the
numerous contemporary problems.
The quality of the conference programmes over the last 20 years has been
continuously improving and currently stands at a very satisfactory level
internationally. The competition is significant and a rigorous review
process can guarantee that the best thinking and practical application will
be presented in the forthcoming event.
A new feature considered to become a part of the series of
conferences is the organisation of parallel workshops/seminars. Ideas and
proposals for such workshops which promote and disseminate knowledge and
encourage in depth debate about challenging issues, are welcome.

CALL FOR PAPERS
Papers are invited on the topics mentioned above and others
falling within the scope of the Conference.
For further instruction on paper submission, please see the
Instuctions to
Authors page.
Workshops
The aim
of the workshops is to facilitate discussion on specific topics. They differ
from normal Conference sessions in that they will encourage more dialogue
between presenters and between presenters and delegates. The Scientific and
Programme Committee seeks proposals for suitable subject areas. The
proposals should be submitted by 15 December 2006 and should include a
summary of of the workshop outlining its objectives and scope, the
participants (detailing speakers and the expected audience) and any expected
outcomes.
Young Researchers
Young
researchers are particularly encouraged to present their research work.
Notwithstanding submission of papers on specific aspects of their research
they are urged to take the additional opportunity of submitting an outline
of their recently completed or at a mature stage PhD work. The purpose of
these presentations is not to subject the research work to scrutiny or
critical evaluation by specialists, but to inform, through an appropriate
formulation of the presentation, the wider scientific and professional
community on recent advances in various fields of Environmental Science and
Technology.
The overall presentation
should focus on scope and objectives, main results and novel findings, main
conclusions and suggestions for further research. Depending on the
responses, special sessions may be allocated for these presentations.

REVIEW OF PAPERS - CONFERENCE
PROCEEDINGS
Papers will be provisionally accepted by the
Scientific Committee on the basis of the extended abstracts. The full papers will be reviewed
before final acceptance for oral presentation.
All accepted papers will be included in the
Conference Proceedings. It should be noted that as a result of the improving
quality of presentations in previous conferences, the proceedings of the 7th,
8th and 9th CEST have been
included in the major data banks of the international scientific community, such
as Science Citation Index (ISI), Chemical Abstracts and
SRCosmos.
Selected presented papers will also be considered
(with the authors’ consent) for inclusion in a special issue of the "GLOBAL
NEST Journal", following the procedure adopted with the previous
conferences.
