The CONGRESS in 2010: During the 3 days of the Congress presentations were made by 54 speakers from Austria, Belgium, Bosnia & Herzegovina, Bulgaria, Czech Republic, Denmark, Germany, Greece, Hungary, Italy, Luxemburg, Poland, Serbia, Spain, Sweden, Switzerland, the Netherlands and Turkey The EXHIBITION in 2010: There were 117 direct exhibitors - National and group participations from Germany, Austria, and USA as well as companies from Bulgaria, China, Czech Republic, Greece, Denmark, Israel, Russia, Finland, Slovakia, Switzerland, etc. For further information, please see: http://www.viaexpo.com/index.php?option=com_content&view=article&id=30&Itemid=40&lang=en Environmental International Forum SAVE the Planet - Waste & Water Management, Recycling Location : Sofia, Bulgaria Date : 13-15 April 2011 Description : The Forum is a market and networking place for providers of technology and expertise in the sphere of waste and water management and recycling. Over 250 participants attended the Conference in 2010- experts, managers and consultants. Speakers were from from Austria, Australia, Belgium, Bulgaria, Germany, Greece, Ireland, Norway, Spain, The Netherlands and UK. The event focus country was the Netherlands. There was a Collective participation of Dutch companies realized with the partnership of the Economic Department to the Embassy of the Netherlands in Bulgaria, the Netherlands Water Partnership and the Netherlands Waste Management Partnership. The Exhibition participants had the opportunity to meet and network with business executives, investors, representatives of local and regional authorities, decision makers in the field of investment policy, project developers, academics, specialists in all industry branches. Through the start-up of the event Via Expo team aims at bringing expert international know-how and experience concerning innovative ecological practices that will positively influence the sustainable development in the Region as an important contribution to combating climate change. The event was under the auspices of the Bulgarian Ministry of Environment and Water and the Energy Efficiency Agency. Some of the international partners are German Water Partnership, European Water Partnership, Netherlands Water Partnership, Netherlands Waste Management Partnership, European Organization of Strategic Planning, and WADE - World Alliance for Decentralized Energy. The Bulgarian branch partners are Bulgarian Association of Recycling, Energy Agency of Plovdiv, Information Group Passive Buildings Bulgaria, Bulgarian Association for Construction Insulation and Waterproofing, Bulgarian Water Association For further information, please see: http://www.viaexpo.com/index.php?option=com_content&view=article&id=112&Itemid=139&lang=en The Eighth International Congress in Materials Science & Engineering Location : Iasi, Romania Date : 26-29 May 2011 Description : The society progress and future depends essentially on the availability and the intelligent use of materials. Because, for many key industry areas, Europe is at the forefront of the development of new materials and their applications, the Romanian scientists and engineers cannot remain behind. That is why the ISSIM 2011 Congress will provide an opportunity to exchange information at academic level in the field of Materials Science and Engineering. A large number of worldwide engineers are expected to attend this scientific event, thus creating the prerequisites for a mutually fruitful meeting among various categories of students, researchers, executives and managers. ISSIM 2011 will be held in Iasi, the medieval city in the north of Moldavia, former residence of the Moldavian kings, the cultural capital of Romania. The event will take place in the Conference center of the Technical University "Gh. Asachi", situated close to the city centre.

The REV conferences are the annual conferences of the International Association of Online Engineering (IAOE) (www.online-engineering.org). The general objective of this conference is to demonstrate and discuss fundamentals, applications and experiences in the field of remote engineering and virtual instrumentation. With the globalization of education the interest and need of teleworking, remote services and collaborative working environments now increases rapidly. Another objective of the symposium is to discuss guidelines for education in university level courses for these topics. REV 2011 offers an exciting technical program as well as academic networking opportunities during the social events.

The conference will be hosted by Sandia National Laboratories and will improve public awareness and trust in hydrogen technologies by communicating a better understanding of both the hazards and risks associated with hydrogen and their management. Since the ICHS 2011 will focus on safety issues and measures to encourage more extensive use of hydrogen-based technologies, its contents will be different from other hydrogen conferences. As we enter the second decade of the 21st century, this ICHS 2011 will focus on the improvement, knowledge, and understanding of hydrogen safety to overcome barriers to the wide spread use of hydrogen as an energy carrier. Therefore, this conference seeks papers focused on the following three major themes 1) International Progress on Enabling Opportunities, 2) Latest Advances in Hydrogen Safety R&D and 3) Risk Management of Hydrogen Technologies. All contributions to be included in the ICHS 2011 will be evaluated exclusively in the light of their scientific content and relevance to hydrogen safety.
