The major objective is to provide a unique environment to sharing innovative practices, cutting-edge research and unique experiences as well as strategies.
Welcome to ICESR 2013
The Scientific Council of the African Society for the Scientific Research is pleased to welcome you to the 2013 International Conference on Environmental Studies and Research taking place in the beautiful township of Umunze of Anamabra State-Nigeria,
The Conference intends to receive unique proposals that focus on today’s critical issues on teaching and learning. The Conference format consists of general sessions, featured workshops, panels, special forums and networking opportunities.
The Conference hopes to incorporate a variety of ideas, and opinions from a wide range of diverse individuals, organizations, and groups. Professional specialization and geographic distribution of Conference participants is encouraged. We are delighted to welcome you to the Niger Delta, a land of diverse geography, history and beauty. Port Harcourt is one of the oldest cities in West Africa.It offers some unique possibilities for sight seeing. International guests, in particular, should be prepared for extra time so that they can enjoy some of the special sights including the gas flares, one of the most visited sites.
ICESR2013 Committee
The ICESR Conference Committee is made up of the Advisory Board and Scientific Council comprising a total of 60 members, seasoned scholars of international reputation from 40 different countries divided into several sub-committees.
