6-8 December 2005: Third International Symposium on Southeast Asian Water Environment
The University of Tokyo (UT) and the Asian Institute of Technology (AIT), in
cooperation with Southeast Asian Center on Water Environment Technology
(SACWET), a joint center of UT and AIT, will hold the Third International Symposium on Southeast Asian Water Environment, at the AIT Conference Center, on 6-8 December 2005.
The purpose of this Symposium is to provide a forum for discussion and exchange among researchers/practitioners in Environmental Technology and Management and related areas from the Asian Region and to promote interaction among researchers from Asia-Pacific countries, Japan and other parts of the world. We do hope that, through the Symposium, a strong network or partnership with active local change agents will be established, and our colleagues in Southeast Asia will learn more from the experts of other countries to protect the environment of the region. To do so, we are relying on the expertise and research level of the Southeast Asian community to take part in this challenge.
In this symposium, the following specific subjects are selected as the platform topics: Water Environment Conservation in Southeast Asia, Groundwater issues and Pathogenic contamination and health-related microbiology. Other topics related to water environment are also welcome as poster presentation. Participation from NGO/NPO is also welcome. Papers for oral presentations should be submitted by October 6, 2005. Papers for poster presentations should be submitted by October 31 2005.
