iccoee 2012 - international conference on civil, offshore and environmental engineering - iccoee2012

To be hosted in the prestigious Kuala Lumpur Convention Center, ICCOEE2012 is an international conference with the aim to gather professionals from the domains of civil, offshore and environmental engineering to share knowledge and provide input on green technologies and current sustainable practices in the industry. With growing concerns on the grave situation of our planet Earth, global issues pertaining to climate change and mitigation of carbon emissions are high on the conference agenda. Hence this meeting is essential to pave the way for more practical sustainable solutions in numerous disciplines, particularly to increase the efficient use of resources such as energy, water and materials, thus advancing sustainability.

With the theme of “Blue Ocean, Green Action: Advancing Sustainability” ICCOEE2012 will be a platform to discuss the objective of enhancing sustainability in the framework of different disciplines in order to arrive at optimal solutions. Blue Ocean is defined as (the) untapped market space, demand creation, and the opportunity for a highly profitable growth. In Blue Ocean, competition is irrelevant and can be created by expanding and reconstructing industry boundaries. It is strongly believed that the current climate change crisis will lead to more Green Action, i.e. more research and development in green technology. This will ultimately carve a new niche area, the Blue Ocean, that will provide an avenue for advancing sustainability.

Conference Topics
ICCOEE2012 will discuss a wide range of topics in particular those involving collaboration across many disciplines. The aim of the conference is to facilitate constructive and lively exchange of ideas involving principles of Green Action in the Blue Ocean for continuous momentum of sustainability advancement.
