XXIX. International Scientific Conference - ENGINEERING FOR ENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTION TOP2025

TOP 2025 represents a key international platform whose thematic focus is directly aligned with the objectives of the Smart Specialisation Strategy of the Slovak Republic (SK RIS3 2021+).  This strategy provides a framework for innovation policy aimed at supporting national, regional, and international innovation and thus contributing to the growth and prosperity of the national economy.  The conference will focus on topics such as environmental legislation tools, innovative approaches to sustainable industrial production, novel solutions in waste recovery and recycling, energy recovery from waste, efficient energy production with low environmental impact, the use of renewable energy sources, circular economy practices, and carbon footprint reduction. 
TOP 2025 will provide a platform for transfer of scientific knowledge into practical innovations, for presenting practical experiences in implementing innovative solutions and an opportunity for corporate presentations and demonstrations of innovative materials, measuring equipment, technologies, and more.

The aim of TOP 2025 is to bring researchers, experts in the field, professionals, industrial enterprises, companies, and representatives of state and public administration to participate in discussions on innovation trends for sustainable industrial production, environmental protection technologies, and circular economy practices in waste management and to present their scientific results and experience with implementing and operating innovative technologies.
