The aim of the CCES Conference “Grand Challenges in Environmental and Sustainability Science and Technology” is to give an account of the state-of-the art knowledge in the five research areas covered by CCES and how this knowledge can contribute to solving various pressing societal problems.
During the two-day event, there will be six research sessions. Each will consist of three talks of 25 to 30 minutes followed by a half-hour discussion. A challenger will promote and stimulate discussion in each session. The sessions’ topics will be addressed and presented by leading CCES scientists as well as by well-known international personalities.
The conference will be concluded by a panel discussion in the afternoon of the second day, addressing the challenges and difficulties encountered in the dialog between politics and science.”
