Call for Papers
Welcome to Cappadocia, Nevşehir
The idea of providing a scientific basis for discussing and solving, emerging problems in the
fields of only environmental engineering such as water sources, pollution treatment technologies,
aquatic life and etc. This idea initiated the first “International Conference on Environmental Science &
Technologies (Cappadocia, Turkey in 2013)” that we also hosted and involved in the organization.
However, environmental engineering is a whole with civil engineering in many countries in the World.
Thus, basis idea of the second conference, which is named as International Conference on Civil
and Environmental Engineering (ICOCEE), has been formed.
“International Conference on Civil and Environmental Engineering” will provide
a comprehensive overview of effective strategies on the fields of civil and environmental engineering.
Also, the ICOCEE conference will provide the opportunity to discuss and evaluate the solutions to the
regional and global problems. All parties of civil and environmental engineering areas such as
universities, industrial organizations, public institutions and organizations, local governments and
legislators are welcome to attend to the conference in order to the share their experiences and to bring
a common body of knowledge for the solutions of problems in the fields of civil and environmental
engineering. The topics of the conference will include almost all areas of civil and environmental
engineering.
Cappadocia (named as “land of the beautiful horses”) is selected as the conference venue since
it is one of the most fascinating and historical place in Turkey. It is also famed for its wine, valleys,
underground cities, carved-from-rock churches & hotels, hot-air balloons, trekking and horseback
riding tours. Owing to these prominent features of the place, participants will enjoy their stay besides
benefiting from the conference.
The four- day ICOCEE – Cappadocia’2015 conference that is going to be launched on May 20,
2015 in Cappadocia, Nevsehir, Turkey, provides a fruitful, international and unique forum for
exchange of views among participants currently working in the areas of civil and environmental
engineering.
We hope you enjoy ICOCEE – Cappadocia’2015 conference and your stay in Cappadocia,
Turkey.
