SCOPE

The announcement of the eleventh 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 ones this conference maintains and upgrades the synthetic and integrated approach towards protection and upgrading 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 environmental 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.
