The Irago Conference:
The world is at a major turning point. Recent changes in global
economics and industrial priorities, environmental and energy
policies, food production and population movements haveproduced formidable challenges that must be addressed forsustaining life on earth.
The objective of this conference is to provide an ‘interdisciplinaryplatform’ to enhance mutual understanding between scientists,
engineers, policy makers, and experts from a wide spectrum ofpure and applied sciences in order to resolve the daunting global
issues facing mankind. In particular, the organizers would like toencourage graduate school students to participate and talk directlywith internationally renowned academics, industrialists, and opinion
leaders for a firsthand view of the major issues facing scientists andengineers of the 21st century.
