Sustainable development has called for efficient bioresource utilization, sustainable energy production, effective

environmental remediation/management, and advanced material development. Researches and innovations are

critical to satisfy these pressing needs. This proposed conference will offer a timely opportunity to stimulate

new research activities in technological and managerial advancement. Eminent academic researchers, industrial

practitioners, green groups, and governmental departments from different sectors in the local and international

context will gather to share scientific and technical inputs as well as political feedback through active discussion.

The specific objectives of the conference are shown below.

Encourage collaborations among academics, industrial sectors, green groups, and governmental bodies at

the local and international level to develop and exercise novel assessments and practices in fields;

Facilitate information exchange, knowledge transfer, and idea stimulation among overseas and local

experts

Promote awareness and knowledge of bioresources, energy, environment and materials technology among

stakeholders.
