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.
The Conference
will take place in the Cos island,Greece
between
5-7 September 2007. The exact venue of the Conference will be
finalised within the next month.
The following is a
selection of topics for which the Scientific and Programme Committee is
particularly seeking contributions. However, contributions for any topic in
the field of Environmental Science and Technology will be considered.

Papers are invited on the topics mentioned above and others
falling within the scope of the Conference.
Extended abstracts (1000-1500 words) should be submitted by
mail, fax, e-mail or via our website. For a
meaningful evaluation, the abstracts should at least include a clear
presentation of the scope and objectives and a concise summary of the
methods, results and conclusions.
Please
submit abstracts and papers via e-mail to the Conference Secretariat:
cest@gnest.org. Please insert
"10CEST - ABSTRACT SUBMISSION" in the subject line and also include your
name, full address and conference topic in the main body of your mail.
Submission of Abstracts (1000-1500 words)
15 December 2006
Provisional acceptance
31 January 2007
Full paper submission
31 March 2007
Paper review and final acceptance
30 April 2007
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.
