2ND CALL FOR PAPERS
ABOUT THE CONFERENCE
There is an emerging trend worldwide of governments re-aligning their focus on GDP growth to be based on research and innovation output, rather than on the traditional sources such as mineral wealth or tourism. This shift in itself forms the backbone of sustainable development, in that it relies on an inexhaustible source of wealth. Kenya is also slowly shifting its focus to research development and innovation, as witnessed by the increased amount of funding towards research. Sustainable research has been taking a multi-disciplinary approach, where no research field can succeed on its own if it does not incorporate inputs from other fields. Another reason for the same approach may be attributed to the mobilization of resources, owing to the fact that sustainable research and innovation can be capital intensive.
The theme for the 2013 Annual Conference is “Sustainable Research and Innovation”. The wide selection of topics below allow the participants an opportunity to share experiences and articulate how their activities fit in the process of industrialization and possibly the flagship projects stipulated in the Kenya Vision 2030.

The papers to be presented will include, but are not limited to the following topics:

Dear Sir/Madam,
This is Laxman KC. I am a traffic/transportation engineer currently working in Nepal bearing director in Action Nepal. My major roles are detailed traffic impact studies, transportation planning, road safety etc.
As a matter of fact, the traffic and transportation situation of Nepal is quite pity. As per the official statistics provided by the Nepal Police, Traffic Directorate crash rate in Nepal in the year 2009/10 was 11,747. The situation has further worsened in recent years than before. Traffic fatalities increased by 97.27% from 2001 to 2010 which is incomparable with the industrialized nations.
