SEES 2013

2nd Annual International Conference on Sustainable Energy and Environmental Sciences SEES 2013

http://www.env-energy.org/

Date: 25 - 26 February 2013 Venue: Hotel Fort Canning, Singapore

Aims to provides a platform for academics and researchers to deliberate, network and present their research findings on sustainable energy, ecosystem and environmental assessment, and waste treatment amongst other areas.

The Conference Proceedings (Print ISSN: 2251-189X, E-Periodical ISSN: 2251-1903) will be indexed by EBSCO, CrossRef, Proquest and will be submitted to Scopus, ScienceDirect and Cabell's Directories amongst others, where applicable.

Depending on their importance, originality, quality, relevance and other editorial considerations, eligible research articles will be invited for publication in the GSTF Journal of Engineering Technology (JET).

Best Paper Awards and Best Student Paper Awards will be conferred at the conference (in order to qualify for the award, the paper must be presented at the conference).

SEES 2013 will constitute a Special Panel Session.

The conference will be held at Hotel Fort Canning, Singapore. You may want to take a look at the official website of the Singapore Tourism Board.
