Established in 1989, the International Conference on Environmental Science and Technology (CEST) is a leading environmental conference where top experts, scientists, entrepreneurs, representatives of public administration and social initiatives present state-of-the-art research on current and emerging environmental issues. CEST is thus a platform where academia and business converge; where academic research, innovative ideas and solutions serve as the basis for a cleaner, healthier and more sustainable environment. 

The conference is organized by the Global Network of Environmental Science and Technology jointly with the University of the Aegean (Greece) and the National and Kapodistrian University of Athens (Greece). It is scientifically supported by the Open University of Cyprus (Cyprus), the University of Salerno (Italy) and the University of Cincinnati. The conference is under the auspices of the Region of Attica and the Municipality of Athens with the support of World Water Assessment Programme of UNESCO and the International Water Association (IWA). 

CEST2023 is announced in a time of transition from linear economic models to circular economy and bioeconomy worldwide.
