It is a multidisciplinary <br>congress, bridging efforts across the natural, social and engineering sciences, <br>the environment and development of communities. The congress covers a wide <br>spectrum of topics that relate to sustainability, which includes technical and <br>non-technical research areas. It also encourages sharing new knowledge in <br>the field of sustainable technologies and the environmental impacts.<br>The mission of WCST-2016 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>The topics in WCST-2016 include but are not confined to the <br>following areas: <br>Sustainable Energy Technologies: <br>* Bio-energy and Geo-energy <br>* Energy <br>* Energy in Transportation Systems <br>* Energy Efficiency in Utilization <br>* Environmental Issues <br>* Energy Harvesting <br>* Energy Storage Systems <br>* Energy Storage Systems <br>* Energy Market, Management and Economics <br>* Energy Resources for Portable Electronics <br>* Energy Efficiency in Utilization <br>* Geothermal energy <br>* Intelligent Energy, Power Transmission Distribution, Interconnects and Protection <br>* Materials for Energy Resources <br>* Nanotechnology in Energy <br>* New Enabling Technologies <br>* New Materials for Energy Resources and RF and Magnetic Field Energy Devices <br>* Off-grid Isolated Energy Systems <br>* Policy Issues on Renewable Energy <br>* Power Electronics and Energy Conversion <br>* Renewable Energy and Biofuels <br>Renewable Energy Management, Economics and Environmental Impact: <br>* Climate Change <br>* Energy from waste <br>* Environmental assessments <br>* Environmental issues <br>* Environmental policies and planning <br>* Hazardous Chemical <br>* Innovative use of Renewable Raw Materials <br>* Offshore pollution and oil spills <br>* Pollution prevention <br>* Sustainable waste management technologies <br>* Sustainability impact assessments and tools <br>Education: <br>* Environmental Education <br>* Education and Training <br>* E-Society (e-Learning, e-Health, e-Medicine, e-Governance, e-Business, e-Art, e-Science) <br>Green Computing: <br>* Advanced IT energy-aware technologies <br>* Green Computing Geo-energy <br>* E-Cycling <br>* E-Inclusion <br>* Electronic waste <br>* Energy Efficient Ethernet <br>* IT energy management <br>* Power-aware software <br>* Power-efficient architectures and chip designs <br>* Component level power management, e.g., memory, disk. <br>* Power aware networking <br>* Smart Grids applications <br>* Technology as Green Enablers (Grid, Cloud, Data Centers, Virtualization) <br>Sustainable Building Design: <br>* Building Design and System <br>* Creative Industries <br>* Industrial Developments <br>* Low and zero energy houses and buildings <br>* New Insulation materials and techniques <br>* New building materials and recycling <br>* Photovoltaics and Solar Thermal <br>Sustainability and Policy: <br>* Sustainable Applications <br>* Sustainable Development Policy <br>* Sustainable Innovations <br>* Sustainable Technology Programme <br>Waste Management: <br>* Agricultural wastes <br>* Industrial waste management <br>* Medical wastes <br>* Mining and mineral wastes <br>* Nuclear and hazardous waste <br>* Waste from electronic and electrical equipment (WEEE) <br>* Waste water treatment <br></p><p>All the accepted papers will appear in the proceedings and modified version of selected papers will be published in special issues peer reviewed journals.</p><p><br>**Paper/Extended Abstract Submission:<br>- To submit a paper/extended abstract, please email your paper/extended paper to papers@wcst.org<br>**Workshop/Tutorial Submission:<br>- Please email your Workshop/Tutorial proposal to stw@wcst.org<br>**Poster/Demo Submission:<br>- Please email your poster to poster@wcst.org and demo@wcst.org<br><br>For further details, please visit www.wcst.org<br><br></p></body></html>
