Whither Energy Conversion? Present Trends, Current Problems and Realistic Future Solutions

It is with great pleasure that we announce the 1st International e-Conference on Energies, chaired by Prof. Enrico Sciubba from University of Roma Sapienza.

The conference will address research topics concerned with “present trends, current problems and realistic future solutions on energy conversion”, and it will include five topical sessions focusing on:

Thermodynamic Fundamental Issues (Section A)
Present Trends in Energy Conversion from Fossil Sources (Section B)
Present Trends in Energy Conversion from Renewable Sources (Section C)
Current Problems in Energy Conversion Technologies (Section D)
Innovative Futuristic Solutions, Feasible Scenarios and Emerging Concepts (Section E)

In the 1st International e-Conference on Energies, and also the future series, we aim to publish a collective compendium of assessments on the state-of-the-art of current energy-related technologies and their known problems, and to present novel ideas concerning the exploitation of new sources or the better use of the existing ones. We are looking for a response of the energy community commensurable with the importance of this goal, and are sure that the e-Proceedings of the conference will constitute an important reference for the next generation of scholars, industrialists and energy strategists.

The conference will be completely free of charge—both to attend, and for scholars to upload and present their latest work on the conference platform. There will be a possibility to submit selected papers to the journal Energies (ISSN 1996-1073; Impact Factor: 1.844 (2012) and 5-Year 2.087 (2012); www.mdpi.com/journal/energies).

ECE offers you the opportunity to participate in this international, scholarly conference without having the concern or expenditure of travel — all you need is your computer and access to the Internet. We would like to invite you to “attend” this conference by presenting your latest work.

Abstracts (in English) should be submitted by 16 January 2014 online at sciforum.net/conference/ece-1/call.
For accepted abstracts, the full paper can be submitted by 28 February 2014. The conference itself will be held 14–31 March 2014.

We hope you will be able to join this exciting event and support us in making it a success.

The 1st International e-Conference on Energies is organized and sponsored by MDPI, the scholarly open access publisher (www.mdpi.com/).
