<br>
<br>
<br>The World Congress on Sustainable Technologies (WCST-2014)
<br>is a multidisciplinary congress, bridging efforts across the natural,
<br>social and engineering sciences, the environment and development
<br>of communities. The congress covers a wide spectrum of topics
<br>that relate to sustainability, which includes technical and non-technical
<br>research areas. It also encourages sharing new knowledge in the field
<br>of sustainable technologies and the environmental impacts.
<br>
<br>The mission of WCST-2014 is to provide the opportunities for
<br>collaboration and reflection that have the potential to greatly enhance
<br>the infrastructure and capacity for conducting and applying art,
<br>science and technology for sustainability. The WCST bridges
<br>the gap between academia and industry by creating awareness of
<br>current development in sustainable technologies.
<br>
