<br>
<br>
The World Congress on Sustainable Technologies (WCST-2012) <br>
is a multidisciplinary congress, bridging efforts across the natural, <br>
social and engineering sciences, the environment and development <br>
of communities. The congress covers a wide spectrum of topics <br>
that relate to sustainability, which includes technical and non-technical <br>
research areas. It also encourages sharing new knowledge in the field <br>
of sustainable technologies and the environmental impacts.<br>
<br>
The mission of WCST-2012 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>
