Technical Co-Sponsored by IEEE UK/RI Section<br>19-22 November, 2012<br>London, UK<br><a href="http://www.wcst.org">www.wcst.org</a><br>******************************************************<br><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>
