Preface

Initially, the focus of the conference is to gather researchers, academia and industry together to share and discuss current researches in the field of environmental engineering towards green and sustainable technologies. The aim of this conference is to provide platform for knowledge sharing and interchange among researchers, academicians and industrial expertise. This includes current research and development especially in the furtherance of environmental engineering and technologies. I believed that this conference will lead to a broad discussion, generate new ideas scientifically and at the same time will create a strong collaboration among the participants. Due to the pandemic COVID19, unfortunately, we have to settle with virtual meeting instead of gathering in Seoul, Korea. Our team decided to proceed with online conference due to the targeted publications of this conference was already schedule to be published in 2020. Furthermore, the participants requested for online conference since there was no sign of these pandemic will settle soon. This virtual conference was successfully conducted on 23 rd July 2020 hosted in Seminar Room, School of Material Engineering, Universiti Malaysia Perlis. Overall, 91 paperworks were accepted and these include participation of researchers from Romania, Indonesia and Malaysia. This virtual conference was hosted using Google Meet. During the Planetary Sharing Session, around 190 viewers including participants, students and researchers from other universities from Indonesia, Algeria and Malaysia had joined the session. Three keynotes addressed their expertise in sustainable materials, air pollutions and statistical modelling (as given in the conference schedule). The parallel sessions were conducted according to the theme of publication. The details of presentation schedule were included in the later section. Each session took about 15 minutes of presentation and 5 minutes of Q&A session. Putting together, the success of the conference is a team effort. I am grateful to all the committee members who worked very hard to make this event a successful one. Even tough, we faced a short duration of technical issues (loss of internet connection) during the first keynote session, the fast and effective actions of our technical team solve the problem, hence, the overall conference time frame was still running according to the schedule. We would also like to thank all the authors who submitted their papers to the conference, and all the participants who helped in accomplishing the goals of the conference. We hope that you will find this program interesting and thought-provoking and that this conference will provide you with a valuable opportunity to share ideas with others. Wassalam.
