Conference Topics:
COASTAL AND ENVIROMENTAL ENGINEERING
The topics related to energy and environment concerned in this domain can be research and innovations across several key engineering and environmental disciplines, aimed at enhancing urban sustainability and resilience. Our primary goal is to devise solutions that foster the development of sustainable, safe cities with robust urban infrastructure and resilient buildings. The areas of interest span civil engineering (emphasizing structural integrity and material innovations), energy and mechanical engineering (with a focus on efficient energy use and mechanical systems), digital solutions and computer science (leveraging technology for smarter urban planning), and marine and environmental engineering (addressing the health of aquatic ecosystems and the environment).
ENVIRONMENTAL SCIENCES AND BIODIVERSITY
Nature-Based Solutions (NBS) offer innovative approaches to address various urban challenges while enhancing sustainability, resilience, and the well-being of city dwellers. Here are several topics for Nature-Based Solutions specifically tailored for urban environments: green infrastructure, natural water management, climate resilience, biodiversity conservation, health and well-being. By integrating these solutions into urban planning and development, cities can create more sustainable, resilient, and livable environments for their residents while addressing pressing challenges such as climate change, biodiversity loss, and public health concerns.
LIFE SCIENCES AND BIOTECHNOLOGY
Recent advances of life sciences and biotechnology towards sustainability and environment protection with special focus (but not limited to) on cultured plants and farmed (micro)organisms, pollutants and biosensors, prevention and management of disasters, exploitation of (micro)organisms as biocontrol agents and as sources of new compounds and materials, environment deterioration-related diseases: news and ways of management, science applications for eco-friendly energy production.

SOCIAL, CULTURE AND HUMAN SCIENCES
Connections between environment and society. Focus on linking scientific knowledge with social, cultural, and ethical insights, to deeper understand the complexity and significance of life in connection with energy and environment. Main approaches should address public perception of renewable energy, media representation of environmental issues, social acceptance of green infrastructure, citizen participation in energy projects, environmental justice, energy access and conservation, behavioural economics, cultural and ethical perspectives on environmental protection, historical perspectives of the energy transition, eco-friendly accommodation, environmental education, awareness initiatives, psychological empowerment, green finance and investment, intercultural perspectives, eco-linguistics and language in environmental policy.
