The Department of Civil Engineering, Govt. Engineering College Trichur, announces its International Conference on the sub-theme ‘Civil Engineering Advancements for Sustainable Infrastructure Development and Environment (CEASIDE - 2015)’ under the umbrella of ICETEST 2015

CONFERENCE OBJECTIVE

With majority of the countries on the globe facing the threat of environmental degradation and consequent crunch in natural resources such as water, studies on the causes, effects and prevention of such degradation have attracted the attention of engineers and scientists all over the world. Over several decades of experience in this field has led to the revelation that developments in any country/locality/area should be environmentally sustainable. The ‘International Conference on Civil Engineering Advancements for Sustainable Infrastructure Development and Environment - 2015’ (CEASIDE – 2015)’ aims at creating on a single platform a highly desirable confluence of the academia, the practitioners, and the researchers associated with the field. The delegates can share their experiences, achievements and findings derived from their research, field practice and implementation, and even the teaching-learning process. This will enable them to sharpen their faculties in all perspectives of the subject to help them keep abreast of the latest developments, build research and academic relationships, and also identify areas and agencies for future mutually beneficial collaborations.
In tune with the above objective, the Conference Secretariat requests the pleasure of participation from researchers, practitioners, academia and all interested in/associated with the theme of ‘prospering world through sustainable development’ either by contributing research papers/articles for oral/poster presentation or by attending the conference. The papers may be related to one or more of the topics listed in the Section on Conference Topics.
