*************************************************************************

The World Congress on Sustainable Technologies (WCST-2012)

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-2012 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.
