OBJECTIVE
The Conference aims to address the signi�cant issue of sustainable solid waste management through the promotion of safe practices & e�ective technologies. The Conference focuses mainly on modern solid waste technologies. It aims to stimulate the interest of scientists and citizens and inform them about the latest developments in the �eld of municipal solid waste management. Separation at source, Biological Treatment, the treatment at central facilities, waste prevention, biowaste utilization, recycling promotion, Waste-to-energy technologies & energy recovery, smart technologies for waste management, sludge management, agricultural and livestock waste, management of speci�c waste streams (construction & demolition waste, waste from electrical and electronic equip-ment, etc.), biotechnology, circular economy, Best Available techniques, symbiosis networks, energy consumption and saving, carbon footprint and water footprint, zero-waste initiatives, marine litter constitute main conference subjects. Special attention will be drawn to the valorization prospects & the products from solid waste, such as: biofuels, compost, materials, etc. It is also our ambi-tion to strengthen the link of the applied research with industry. Emphasis will be placed on waste management issues and resource e�ciency in islands and generally isolated and remote areas. Hazardous waste constitutes new target area of the conference.The Conference will provide an opportunity to bring together scientists & professionals from government departments, industries, Municipalities, private institutions, research & education institutions, being a forum for the exchange of the most recent ideas, techniques & experiences in all areas of solid waste management. A special workshop will also focus on representatives of local authori-ties and municipalities in order to promote integrated solid waste management schemes. Site visits will also be included.

ORGANIZING COMMITTEE
The Greek islands are ideal places to hold business and industry events because they o�er the incentive and opportunity to partici-pants to travel to an idyllic place. Naxos Island is not just a summer tourism destination. As an historic and leading commercial hub of the Aegean, Naxos is surely a Greek Cycladic island ideal for a conference.While there are several venues that may host conferences in Naxos, concerts and exhibitions, the venue with the greatest capacity is known as The Cultural Center former Ursuline School.Located at the highest point of the medieval castle district known as Kastro, the Ursuline School o�ers spectacular panoramic views onto the Aegean, the Temple of Apollo and surrounding islands, Paros, Mykonos and Syros.
Visible from far, the newly restored and renovated three-story neoclassic building elicits an aura of science and academia; a milieu be�tting to its history as one of Greece’s �nest convents for schooling at the time. The school started to be built in 1739 and was in operation until 1970. Restored in 2009, it reopened as a state-of-the-art cultural center equipped with all necessary facilities and outlets. Since opening, it has hosted international conferences and symposiums in di�erent scienti�c �elds as well as artistic and cultural events and exhibitions.
