We have set up the International Workshop on Environment & Engineering 2009 in the most beautiful colorful-leaves season in Japan. This is the first event, the 20th anniversary of the Environmental Engineering Division, the Japan Society of Mechanical Engineers with co-sponsoring the Global COE Program of Center for Education and Research of Symbiotic, Safe and Secure System Design, and Keio Leading Amenity & Security Infrastructure starting in 2008(KLASI 2008), Keio University.
We started our activity for the Environmental Engineering Committee in the1970s, the symbolic era of pollution control.
Since establishing the Environmental Engineering Division in 1989, we have striven to create living spaces and environments with comfortable levels of sound, clean air and water. We have also promoted an urban foundation which recycles resources and uses energy in a symbiotic way.
Today, the division has interests in many fields and is always looking for new, diversified and multilateral points of view to effect transformations of practical science.
Therefore, the International Workshop will be a chance for our activities to take root in many fields involving global subjects and solutions, and an opportunity for all participants to exchange information for bringing Advanced Sustainable Cities (ASC) into reality.
In this time, Professor Takao Kashiwagi, first chairman of the division, will give an address. We will also invite a few researchers or engineers for special speakers from outside of Japan.
Please present the fruits of your research and studies on environment and engineering. For global audiences, the workshop appreciates for presentations in English. It is also permissible to submit an English version of your presentation which has been published only in Japanese. You can present orally, by posters or on WEB. In due course, papers will be published in the Journal of Environment and Engineering (JEE), special or general editions.
This event is widely open to government organizations and institutions, academic institutions, industries and citizens. We hope to see a lot of participants join us, discuss our visions, and find perspectives for sustainable societies.
