| Scope and Objectives |
-
Sustainability is a new discourse aimed at promoting a new strategy in the development of
energy, water and environmental (EWE) systems. International conferences on sustainability
development offer the best opportunity for the dissemination, exchange and promotion of new
ideas for interdisciplinary, multi-cultural and multi-criteria evaluation of EWE systems.
It is becoming increasingly clear that the quest for sustainable development requires integrating
economic, social, cultural, political, and ecological factors. It requires grassroots initiatives, as well
as simultaneous consideration of the local and global dimensions, and of the ways by which they interact.
It also requires broadening of the space and time horizons to accommodate the need for intra-generational
as well as international equity. The behavior and properties of a EWE system arise not merely from the
properties of its component elements, but to a large degree also from the nature and intensity of their dynamic interlinkages.
It has become evident that the complexity of these problems requires enhancement
and deepening of the understanding of the implications of the different aspects of sustainability. Resources,
economy and environment are the key components that affect the quality of life on our planet. It has also
been recognized that the social aspect, including information exchange, is of fundamental importance in understanding sustainable development.
Consequently, the Dubrovnik 2005 conference will focus on the following objectives :
- Development of new methods for the analysis and evaluation of EWE systems (such as emergy and exergy analysis, life cycle assessment, ecological footprint, MIPS, etc.)
- Analysis of potential scientific and technological processes addressing the interactions between energy, water and environment
- Promotion of a new field of sustainability science that seeks to understand the fundamental character of interactions between EWE systems and society
- Development of inter-disciplinary partnerships bringing together leading experts in physical, life, and environmental sciences, engineering, economics, and social sciences and informatics
- Development of models of energy, water, and environmental systems, and their evaluation
- Development of energy, water, and environmental system models based on ecological economics.
- Enhancement of methodologies for assessing the comparative sustainability of different EWE systems options, taking into account economics, environmental resource use, and social validation.

- "Those who seek paradise on Earth should come to Dubrovnik and see
Dubrovnik." (George Bernard Shaw).
Dubrovnik is situated in the
southernmost part of the Republic of Croatia. Founded in the 7th

Treasury, Pinacotheca, Franciscan monastery and cloister, with one of
three oldest pharmacies in Europe (14th c.), the Cathedral (initial
funds given by King Richard the Lionheart), one of the European oldest
Synagogues, Marin Drzic Theatre, Dubrovnik Symphony Orchestra,
