Water, Energy and Environment for Sustainability (IC-WEES)
ABOUT US
For the 4th cycle, of the International Flagship conference on Water, Energy, and Environment for Sustainability (IC WEES), the NUST School of Art, Design & Architecture (SADA) is pleased to announce the notion of Design for Solutions as its central slogan for the conference. The contemporary issues of environmental sustainability and the dilemma of depleting resources create an opportunity towards a hands-on solution-oriented thinking modules and innovative approach towards problem solving. The conference offers a succulent platform for interdisciplinary collaboration between thinkers, researchers, scholars, policymakers, and practitioners to develop a dialogue through the lens of design thinking. This conference serves as a pivotal arena for intellectual engagement and pragmatic discourse, focusing on the amalgamation of innovative design paradigms within the overarching realms of sustainability.
