The Materials Research Laboratory of the University of Nova Gorica is hosting the conference »European Conference of Materials and Technologies for Sustainable Growth - ECo MaTech«, taking place from 19-21 September 2013, at Bled (Slovenia).

In recent years we have witnessed a considerable shift in priorities towards the research and development of materials, technologies and processes related to sustainable growth. In part, this is pushed by EU directives and regulations. However, a significant motivation is a consequence of our own awareness of the importance of a sustainable environmental management and the related quality of life. This awareness is already so strong that an increasing number of individuals and teams are getting involved in sustainable environmental management, expecting multiple benefits - including economic ones.

The European concept of research and developments is strongly collaborative. It encourages the international and interdisciplinary cooperation between academia, research institutions and industry. This is why the event such as the European Conference of Materials and Technologies for Sustainable Growth are of special importance. It gives an opportunity to all the relevant entities to present their work, ideas and products, get familiar with the R&D of partners, be introduced to future plans in the field of sustainable growth, establish contacts with relevant partners and become a part of the world-wide discussion on sustainable growth.

The conference programme is consisted of hand-picked hot topics from the field of environmental materials and technologies. These are: * Waste and Pollution Treatment * New Cooling Technologies * Technologies for Energy Conversion * Energy Storage and Distribution Technologies * Environmental Impact

The coference will host more than 120 participants from different coutries (USA, Canada, India etc.).
