2023 International Conference on Resource Sustainability (icRS 2023)
August 7-9, 2023, Guildford, Surrey, the United Kingdom
The sustainable development of human society depends on resources. Addressing critical societal challenges, such as climate change, resource depletion, and environmental protection, requires sustainable management of resources using interdisciplinary approaches.
The International Conference on Resource Sustainability (icRS) series serve as an international platform for researchers and practitioners around the world with diverse background and expertise to share the most recent ideas, outcomes, and practices on resource sustainability.
icRS embraces interdisciplinarity, welcoming contributions from ANY discipline including natural sciences, social sciences, and engineering on ANY aspect of resource sustainability. We define resource broadly, including physical resources, biological resources, and "misplaced" resources:
- physical resources: metals, non-metallic minerals, energy, water, etc.
- biological resources: food, forestry, land, ecological systems, etc.
- "misplaced" resources: air emissions, water pollutants, solid waste, etc.
icRS 2023, hosted by University of Surrey, will include invited keynote speeches, parallel sessions, and poster presentations on the following topics:
- Whole system approach for sustainability
- Cross-vector management for Net Zero
- Artificial Intelligence enabled tools
- Sustainable wellbeing economy
- Circular economy
- Efficiency and environmental impacts of resource utilization
- Sustainable supply chain
- Waste reduction, reuse, recycling and recovery
- Environmental behaviour for sustainable consumption
To encourage participation, we will ONLY call for abstracts to submit for the conference. However, authors will have options to select to submit full papers in addition to abstracts to be considered for special issues in supporting journals.
We also welcome proposals to organize special sessions at icRS 2023.
icRS 2023 is in-person only. There will no option for online presentations.
icRS 2023 is sponsored by the flagship journal in sustainable resources management Resources, Conservation & Recycling (RCR; 2021 Impact Factor: 13.716) and its sister journal Resources, Conservation & Recycling Advances (RCRADV; 2021 CiteScore: 14.5). High quality papers presented at icRS 2023 will be recommended to special issues in these journals as well as other supporting journals.
