Electronics are an integrated part of our life. Almost all innovations are
in some way based on electronics. To continue this success story future
electronics have to meet technological requirements of course. But they have
to meet environmental and social requirements as well.

The conference Electronics Goes Green 2004+ (EGG 2004+) will bring together
the worldwide leading experts from the technological and the environmental
area. Together they will discuss the trends in future electronics as well as
in current and upcoming environmental issues.

The establishment of sustainable electronics is a global challenge which
needs an international approach. To reach the worldwide leading experts
Electronics Goes Green will combine the well-known conferences CARE
INNOVATION (Europe), ECO DESIGN (Japan) and ISEE (USA) as the world's
leading meeting on electronics and the environment.

In the year 2000 more than 530 participants from 36 countries made EGG 2000+
the leading international conference on electronics and the environment.
Nearly all leading companies from the electronic sector participated.

How your company can participate in EGG 2004+:
.       Sponsor
Take the opportunity and present your company worldwide as a pacemaker of
advanced and sustainable technologies.
.       Exhibitor
Present your products to a forum of the world's leading companies in
electronics and the environment. 51 companies like IBM, Philips, Sony or
Toshiba took this opportunity in 2000.
.       Presentation of Papers
The call for papers is open up to February 28, 2004. Be one of the leading

Get up to date by listening to more than 100 speakers from all major
industrial regions.

These are the topics of EGG 2004:
(Please see the attached Call for Papers)
.       Green Design Implementation and Legal Compliance
The fundamental relevance of electronics has led to many legislative
activities around the world. In part 1 the conference EGG 2004 will discuss
how current and future laws in Europe (WEEE/ RoHS and EUP), in the US and in
Asia (Japan and China) can be observed. Branch specific sessions will
demonstrate the best practice in implementation and managing of green design
in a global supply chain.
.       Leading Edge Technologies
In part 2 representatives from industry and science will present leading
edge technologies to fulfill future needs of green electronics. This part
will focus both on a technological as well as an environmental point of
view.
.       Looking Ahead: Technologies, Markets & Sustainability
Electronics are necessary but not sufficient for a sustainable future. In
the early stages of product and process developments engineers decide about
the sustainability of future electronics. But what are the technological and
societal trends?
In part 3 EGG 2004 will provide the required information about future trends
in electronics. Leading experts will discuss the environmental challenge of
tomorrow's electronics and open the view for sustainable strategies. Future
needs of consumers and their acceptance of technologies will be a topic,
too.
