Dear colleagues,

The 5^th Euro-Mediterranean Conference for Environmental Integration (EMCEI-2023) aims to gather high-quality, original research papers for publication following peer review in topical collections (special issues) of the Euro-Mediterranean Journal for Environmental Integration and other Springer journals on various multidisciplinary topics linked to the evolution and development of the Euro-Mediterranean environment in the past, present, and future (see Special Issues). The main objectives of the conference are to support research and innovation, to promote the exchange of scientific knowledge, and to foster collaboration among Euro-Mediterranean communities. The conference participants will have an opportunity to attend several keynote presentations on new indicators and directions in research, development and innovations in the multidisciplinary fields of the environmental sciences. To this end, several high-profile Euro-Mediterranean scientists will participate in this conference (see Plenaries). Moreover, a social and cultural program is planned, where, participants can take a little time out to explore the wonders of the historical sites of the province of Cosenza, in Calabria region, southern Italy (see Social Program).

We invite you to come to Rende (Cosenza) and contribute to and participate in an exciting conference in a stimulating environment!
