We regret to announce that CRETE 2020 International Conference on Industrial and Hazardous Waste Management is rescheduled to 18th – 21st May, 2021.

The Organizing Committee evaluated that the prevailing conditions worldwide, due to the COVID-19 pandemic, do not allow the normal conduction of the Conference, as usually. At the moment there is great uncertainty about traveling, hotel accommodation and events preconditions, making your participation and our hosting hard to accomplish.

Hopefully, a few months later things will be better and we will all be able to meet again for CRETE 2021, without the present worries.

We would like to thank all authors that have already submitted their abstracts and inform them that their contributions will be evaluated for CRETE 2021, unless they inform us otherwise.

Important dates are altered as follows:

Abstract submission:15th January, 2021
Full paper submission:15th Ferbuary, 2021
Early registration:15th March, 2021

Stay informed about CRETE 2021 news through our official website, but above all stay safe! See you in May 2021!
