Indicators in Environmental Monitoring: Standardization, Assessment and Policy

It is a great pleasure to invite you to the 20th International Conference of Environmental Indicators (ICEI 2013).

The use of indicators to monitor our environment and to inform and diagnose environmental hazards and their impacts remains a challenge. Standardization of these monitoring efforts is of great importance in order to get reliable data for an accurate assessment of the current state of the environment and to thus form the basis for policy. This international conference will bring together experts from government departments, consultancies, and academia to meet this challenge.

We warmly welcome you to Trier, the oldest City of Germany, and a former capital of the Roman Empire. Trier has some spectacular World Heritage Sites, a lovely old City, and a wonderful landscape close-by including the world's greatest wine-growing region of Riesling on the crags of the river Moselle.

You can be assured of warm hospitality and a fantastic scientific program. View the invitation and welcome to Trier.
