Ever since the first edition, the conference has received overwhelming response from academicians, scientists, researchers and scholars all over the world and has become a global platform to present, share and discuss their research findings in various fields of science, engineering and technology. Based on the awe- inspiring success of the past five editions, the sixth edition of the biennial International Conference on Emerging Trends in Engineering, Science and Technology, ICETEST 2020 is scheduled to be organized from 10th to 12th December 2020. Due to the Covid-19 uncertainties prevailing world over, ICETEST 2020 will be organized as Virtual Conference. On par with the earlier editions of the conference, ICETEST 2020 will have three major tracks with Track-1: International Conference on Civil Engineering Advances for Sustainable Infrastructure Development & Environment (CEASIDE2020), Track-2: Intemational Conference on Recent Advances in Materials Processing and Technology for Sustainability (RAMPTS2020) and Track-3: The third edition of International Conference on Power Instrumentation Control and Computing (PICC2020), which is technically co-sponsored by IEEE Kerala Section, IEEE Industry Applications Society and IEEE Power Electronics Society. CEASIDE 2020 will be jointly coordinated by the Civil and Architecture departments, RAMPTS 2020 will be coordinated by the Chemical, Mechanical and Production Engineering departments. and PICC 2020 will be coordinated by the Electrical Engineering, Electronics & Communication Engineering and Computer Science and Engineering departments of the institute THEME OF ICETEST 2020 The conflict between combustion based energy generation and environmental degradatio n is of global significance that poses threat to the very existence of the present society as well as future generations. It is the responsibility of the research community to support the society through socially and environmentally sustainable solutions to these impending issues. In view of the above, ICETEST 2020 is organized with the main theme "Society, energy & Environment - showcasing the roadmap for tomorrow’, Apart from customary plenary sessions, all the tracks of the conference will have keynote and invited speeches and contributory oral presentations. The organizing committee of ICETEST 2020 invites potential participants around the globe to take part in the conference from 10th to 12th December 2020. Renowned and outstanding researchers, academicians, practicing engineers and scholars from all over the world are expected to. present their research in cutting-edge technologies. In addition, ICETEST 2020 provides a fantastic opportunity to network with your peers from academia, R&D organizations and industry.
