WCST 2017

World Congress on Sustainable Technologies (WCST-2017) Technically Co-Sponsored by IEEE UK/RI Computer Chapter 11-14 December, 2017 University of Cambridge, UK www.wcst.org

The World Congress on Sustainable Technologies (WCST-2017) is Technically Co-Sponsored by IEEE UK/RI Computer Chapter. It is a multidisciplinary congress, bridging efforts across the natural, social and engineering sciences, the environment and development of communities. The congress covers a wide spectrum of topics that relate to sustainability, which includes technical and non-technical research areas. It also encourages sharing new knowledge in the field of sustainable technologies and the environmental impacts.

The mission of WCST-2017 is to provide the opportunities for collaboration and reflection that have the potential to greatly enhance the infrastructure and capacity for conducting and applying art, science and technology for sustainability. The WCST bridges the gap between academia and industry by creating awareness of current development in sustainable technologies.

The topics in WCST-2017 include but are not confined to the following areas:

Sustainable Energy Technologies: Bio-energy and Geo-energy Energy Energy in Transportation Systems Energy Efficiency in Utilization Environmental Issues Energy Harvesting Energy Storage Systems Energy Storage Systems Energy Market, Management and Economics Energy Resources for Portable Electronics Energy Efficiency in Utilization Geothermal energy Intelligent Energy, Power Transmission Distribution, Interconnects and Protection Materials for Energy Resources Nanotechnology in Energy New Enabling Technologies New Materials for Energy Resources and RF and Magnetic Field Energy Devices Off-grid Isolated Energy Systems Policy Issues on Renewable Energy Power Electronics and Energy Conversion Renewable Energy and Biofuels
