8 - 10 September 2011, Rhodes island, Greece 

Organised by: Global Network for Environmental Science and Technology (Global NEST) and University of the Aegean: Dept. of Environmental Studies, and Dept. of Statistics and Actuarial-Financial Mathematics

The International Conference on Environmental Science and Technology has been successfully developing for the last 24 years; in Lesvos (1989 1991, 1993, 1995 and 1997), Samos (1999), Syros (2001), Limnos (2003), Rhodes (2005), Kos (2007), Chania (2009); to an important venue in the Mediterranean attracting engineers, scientists, students, managers and other professionals from many different countries.

The success of this biannual conference reflects the critical environmental topics that are discussed as well as the quality of the presented papers. All the papers that are selected for either oral or poster presentation undergo a review process. It should be noted that as a result of the improving quality of presentations in previous conferences, the proceedings of the 7th, 8th, 9th, 10th and 11th CEST have been included in the major data banks of the international scientific community, such as Science Citation Index (ISI), Chemical Abstracts and SRCosmos.

Selected papers will also be considered for inclusion in special issues of the "GLOBAL NEST Journal", "Desalination" and "Journal of Hazardous Materials", after the normal peer review process of the journals.
