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.

CALL FOR PAPERS
Papers are invited on the
topics mentioned above.
Extended abstracts (up to 1000 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. Please insert
"CEST2009 - ABSTRACT SUBMISSION" in the subject line and also include your
name, full address and conference topic in the main body of your mail.
For further instruction on paper submission, please see
Instructions to
authors.
WORKSHOPS
The aim of organising
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 well-established proposals for suitable subject
areas. The proposals should be submitted by 15 December 2008 and should
include a summary 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 presentation in previous
conferences the proceedings of the 7th, 8th, 9th and 10th CEST have been
included in the major data banks of the international scientific community,
such as 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.

TRANSPORTATION
Access to
Chania (Crete island) is possible by
plane via Athens, Thessaloniki and many other international airports or by
ferry boat from Athens (Pireus), Thessaloniki and other ports.
The air tickets to and from Chania should be booked long in
advance, as the first weeks of September are a high tourist season. The boat
tickets should be booked in advance and if a car is taken to the island the
return ferry ticket should be ensured.
Bus and taxi services are available at reasonable rates.
