Solutions for a Sustainable Planet
This International Conference hosted by the Society for Sustainability and Environmental Engineering (SSEE), Engineers Australia, was held on the 23rd - 24th November 2009, at the Melbourne Convention & Exhibition Centre in Melbourne, Australia.
The key theme for the conference was ‘Solutions for a Sustainable Planet’ - we firmly believe we can move beyond talk and ideas to implementing practical solutions.
The attendance at the conference was over 200 delegates, the Conference was designed with an emphasis on engineers and scientists from both Australia and overseas, practising across Government, industry, community and academic sectors.
The Conference was a forum to reflect on the increasing role that engineers and scientists play in delivering sustainable solutions in engineering projects and across a wide range of activities. It also highlighted processes and techniques to simplify the complex nature of implementing sustainability. These issues are highly topical and as such have already attracted strong support from government, community and industry. Both theoretical and practical aspects of sustainability were discussed.
