Call for Papers: 2026 Entry-Level Friendly Environmental Engineering Conferences

3 views||Release time: Dec 25, 2025

For graduate students and early-career researchers in Environmental Engineering, finding the right platform to publish your first major paper is a crucial milestone. While top-tier journals can take months to review, select international conferences offer a faster, more supportive peer-review process while still ensuring your work is indexed in Ei Compendex and Scopus.

For 2026, we have identified a series of "Entry-Level Friendly" conferences known for their efficient processing times and broad scope, making them ideal for submitting preliminary research or case studies.
