About us
The Network's mission is
To support, assist and influence those who seek to conserve and improve the natural and built environments and to improve quality of life through the development and application of environmental science, technology and policy
The Global Network of Environmental Science and Technology (Global NEST) has been initiated as a response to the growing interest of the International community attending the conferences on Environmental Science and Technology, organised on a biennial basis by the University of the Aegean. This interest mainly concentrates on serving the above mission through common understanding and necessary action.
