EnviroInfo 2009 Conference

Title: Environmental Informatics and Industrial Environmental Protection: Concepts, Methods and Tools

Date: September 9th - 11th 2009

The EnviroInfo 2009 conference is a meeting place for experts and practitioners on leading ICT technologies to make the world a better place for living. It aims to report about state-of-the-art applications of ICT as well as newest developing trends in the field of environmental informatics. It will cover cross-cutting topics like applications of geographical information systems, environmental modelling and simulation, risk management, material and energy flow management, climate change, tools and database applications and other aspects with regard to the main topic ICT and the environment. The EnviroInfo 2009 conference will have a special focus on the topic “ICT for industrial environmental protection” and thus will reflect on practical problems and the need for an adequate IT-assistance for this application field. A dedicated emphasis is also laid on the requirements of small and medium-sized enterprises and their need for a proper and easy to use IT-assistance.

The EnviroInfo 2009 is the continuation of a long tradition of conferences and workshops within the field of environmental informatics starting in 1986.

Due to the interdisciplinary character of environmental informatics one important goal of this conference is to bring experts from industry, research and education together to exchange ideas and proposals for solution of urgent problems and needs in the field on environmental protection and its IT-assistance. Furthermore students are asked to join this conference to get first experiences with this outstanding community.
