3rd International Scientific "Energy and Climate Change" Conference
The 1st PROMITHEAS Conference titled "Energy Investments and Trade Opportunities" was a two-day event with two types of sessions, political and scientific, that took place in 2008. The 2nd PROMITHEAS Conference titled "Energy and Climate Change" was organized during 8-9 October 2009 and included only scientific sessions.
Both events were organized by the Energy Policy and Development Centre (KEPA) of the NKUA, coordinator of the PROMITHEAS Network, and were set under the auspices of the Black Sea Economic Cooperation (BSEC) Organization. All events were hosted by the oldest university of Greece, the National and Kapodistrian University of Athens (NKUA).
High level officials from BSEC countries and distinguished scientists, known for their research work in energy and climate change will be invited to chair the sessions and address the event.
Abstracts should be approximately 200 words in length and should clearly demonstrate the scientific contribution of the proposed presentation. Authors should include at the end of the abstract bibliographic references. The authors are kindly requested to indicate their affiliation, contact details and at which of the following themes and topics their work refers to. Intending contributors may download from the Conference web-site the Style Guide for Abstracts/Papers and look at the sample page.
The book of all accepted abstracts will be published and distributed with the Conference Program. The Conference Proceedings will include the full papers that were presented during the Conference. Authors should submit the full paper once they are informed that their abstract is accepted. All presentations will be uploaded at the web-site of the Conference. Submitted papers will be reviewed for publication in the "Euro-Asian Journal of Sustainable Energy Development Policy", published by the PROMITHEAS network.
