Welcome to ECSEE2013 - an IAFOR event
The International Academic Forum in conjunction with its global partners is proud to announce the Inaugural European Conference on Sustainability, Energy and the Environment, to be held from July 4-7 2013, at the Thistle Hotel, Brighton, England.
CONFERENCE THEME: "Sustainability, Society and the Environment: Searching for Synergies"
Sustainability has emerged as the most important global issue for business, industry, government, and academia, and yet to begin with sustainability was associated only with environmental concerns such as energy and global warming. It is now recognized that the concept of sustainability is applicable to all areas of human society, for example in terms of social/economic justice, or responsible business practice. Issues such as poverty, hunger, education, health care, and access to markets should be a part of the evolution of any comprehensive sustainability paradigm as we work together to achieve a sustainable future. ECSEE 2013 will address these various dimensions of human sustainability as we invite scholars from around the world to address questions and search for synergies and solutions to the complex issues surrounding sustainability in a forum encouraging serious and thoughtful exchange between academics, members of the global business community, and practitioners in the fields of human endeavor that link these. We call on scientists from around the globe to meet and share our respective outlooks and collective wisdom on a critical issue of common concern: the pursuit of a sustainable world.
It is a sincere hope that attendees will use this time together, not just for intellectual discovery and discourse, but to establish a common vision and to motivate each other to do our part in the creation of a better world. We greatly appreciate your attendance and encourage your active engagement throughout the conference.
We look forward to seeing you in Brighton!

From East to West, and back again - IAFOR's conferences encourage global dialogue
The International Academic Forum, in association with its global partners, is excited to announce its series of international research conferences in the United Kingdom in 2013. The events, styled the European
Conferences, will be organized to mirror those held in Asia, with the hope that IAFOR can continue to create global discussions around key topics and generate exciting new research synergies. We look forward to
the new perspectives and ideas that will doubtless be the fruit of such global dialogue, as Asia's Think Tank looks to nurture and consolidate its research partnerships with Europe.
