Dear Colleagues, I would like to refer to the International Conference on The Environment: Survival and Sustainability which will take place in the English language, on 19-24 February 2007, at the Near East University in Northern Cyprus. I have the pleasure to inform you that, up to now, we have 3 Nobel Laureates, 108 Scientific Committee Members, 57 International Advisory Board Members, participating from 80 different countries. Offers have been made from a dozen or so leading international scientific journals/publishers (such as) Advanced Knowledge International, Journal of Environmental Science and Health Parts A and B, Journal of Toxicology and Environmental Health, Journal of Toxicology and Environmental Chemistry, Environmental Science Unit of Springer) for publishing selected articles in regular and special issues. The Near East University will also be publishing some of the papers. I would like to remind you that the Conference aims to bring together around 2000 scholars and researchers from over 90 countries around the world to discuss environmental issues from a variety of perspectives. Relevant UN and EU Agencies as well as other international/regional organizations are invited as sponsors or technical and organizational assistance providers to the Conference. The main theme of the Conference will be the urgent need in taking steps by the international organizations, states, local authorities, and non-governmental organizations to move forward to a sustainable environment. In this way, the Conference will aim at making a contribution to the worldwide debate and efforts on strengthening the bridge between theory and practice in meeting environmental threats and challenges.
