6th International
Conference
on
Sustainable Solid Waste
Management

http://www.naxos2018.uest.gr
 OBJECTIVE
The Conference aims to address the significant issue of sustainable solid waste management through the promotion of safe practices &
effective technologies. The Conference focuses mainly on modern solid waste technologies. It aims to stimulate the interest of scientists
and citizens and inform them about the latest developments in the field of municipal solid waste management. Separation at source,
Biological Treatment, the treatment at central facilities, waste prevention, biowaste utilization, recycling promotion, Waste-to-
energy technologies & energy recovery, smart technologies for waste management, sludge management, agricultural and
livestock waste, management of specific waste streams (construction & demolition waste, waste from electrical and electronic equip-
ment, etc.), biotechnology, circular economy, Best Available techniques, symbiosis networks, energy consumption and saving,
carbon footprint and water footprint, zero-waste initiatives, marine litter constitute main conference subjects. Special attention
will be drawn to the valorization prospects & the products from solid waste, such as: biofuels, compost, materials, etc. It is also our ambi-
tion to strengthen the link of the applied research with industry. Emphasis will be placed on waste management issues and resource
efficiency in islands and generally isolated and remote areas. Hazardous waste constitutes new target area of the conference.
The Conference will provide an opportunity to bring together scientists & professionals from government departments, industries,
Municipalities, private institutions, research & education institutions, being a forum for the exchange of the most recent ideas,
techniques & experiences in all areas of solid waste management. A special workshop will also focus on representatives of local authori-
ties and municipalities in order to promote integrated solid waste management schemes. Site visits will also be included.

CONFERENCE VENUE: THE CULTURAL CENTER FORMER URSULINE SCHOOL

The Greek islands are ideal places to hold business and industry
events because they offer the incentive and opportunity to partici-
pants to travel to an idyllic place. Naxos Island is not just a summer
tourism destination. As an historic and leading commercial hub of
the Aegean, Naxos is surely a Greek Cycladic island ideal for a
conference.
While there are several venues that may host conferences in Naxos,
concerts and exhibitions, the venue with the greatest capacity is
known as The Cultural Center former Ursuline School.
Located at the highest point of the medieval castle district known
as Kastro, the Ursuline School offers spectacular panoramic views
onto the Aegean, the Temple of Apollo and surrounding islands,
Paros, Mykonos and Syros.
Visible from far, the newly restored and renovated three-
story neoclassic building elicits an aura of science and
academia; a milieu befitting to its history as one of Greeces
finest convents for schooling at the time. The school started
to be built in 1739 and was in operation until 1970.
Restored in 2009, it reopened as a state-of-the-art cultural
center equipped with all necessary facilities and outlets.
Since opening, it has hosted international conferences and
symposiums in different scientific fields as well as artistic
and cultural events and exhibitions.
