The GREENet workshop is in conjunction with the 10th IEEE International Conference on e-Business Engineering (ICEBE 2013).

About GREENet Project

The full title of GREENet project is Globally Recoverable and Eco-friendly E-equipment Network with Distributed Information Service Management, which was supported by a Marie Curie International Research Staff Exchange Scheme Fellowship within the 7th European Community Framework Programme under grant agreement No 269122.

This three-year project is aimed at teaming up trans-continental researchers in the areas of Waste Electrical and Electronic Equipment (WEEE) management and enabling Information and Communication Technologies (ICT) for knowledge transferring and research synergies to develop generic solutions for globally sustainable WEEE management. The GREENet objectives include:

• To establish an active international community and effective communication channel for research teams from various regions of the EU and China to collaborate in the research area of globally sustainable WEEE management.

• To integrate the complementary expertise of the European and Chinese teams to devise ICT-based strategies, solutions and standards to address the multi-faceted requirements of globally sustainable WEEE management.

• To leverage the geographical characteristics of the teams for research evaluation, improvement and dissemination.
