The International M.Sc. "Air Quality Control, Solid Waste and Waste Water Process Engineering" (WASTE) Presents:
November 4-5th, 2021, 01:00 PM (CET)
The Fifth International M.Sc. WASTE Symposium on Current Challenges in Sustainability will discuss the emerging and ongoing technologies, environmental impacts of Covid -19 pandemic and different countries perspectives. It is intended to provide an opportunity for interdisciplinary professionals to exchange their academic and technical knowledge in environmental topics.
Sustainable development meets the needs of the present without compromising the ability of future generations to meet their own needs (United Nations). The industrial and economic development have always been a concern, but currently the discussion on how to achieve these goals while protecting the environment became a relevant trending topic that must be discussed and considered worldwide.
What are the positive and negative impacts of Covid-19 pandemic on the environment?
How can we build a more sustainable global economy?
What have we learned so far as a society from the pandemic?
How are developed and developing countries achieving sustainability?
What are the current challenges to achieve United Nations (UN) Sustainable Development Goals?
The first step to address such questions is offering the chance to hold discussions about environmental technologies. The Symposium is aimed to find a coalition point for international speakers to share their experiences working and researching on environmental technologies in the fields of Solid Waste, Waste Water Process Engineering along with Air Quality Control.
Students are also welcome to contribute and foster the Symposium through the Call for research posters and projects, where they are invited to present their work in the frame of the event. Further details of the event registration and deadlines will be published soon. Due to Covid-19, this year the V International WASTE Symposium will be held online (Depending on the Corona regulations).
The Symposium is organized by the students of the International Master of Science: Air Quality Control, Solid Waste, and Waste Water Process Engineering (WASTE) at the University of Stuttgart. All attendants will receive a certificate according to their participation mode.
We are looking forward to your participation in our Symposium!
