News archive - [Event Announcement and Call for papers] 7th Conference on Sustainable Development of Energy, Water and Environment Systems – SDEWES

SDEWES Conference, to be held in Ohrid on July 1-6, 2012, is dedicated to the improvement and dissemination of knowledge on methods, policies and technologies for increasing the sustainability of development by de-coupling growth from natural resources and replacing them with knowledge based economy, taking into account its economic, environmental and social pillars, as well as methods for assessing and measuring sustainability of development, regarding energy, transport, water, environment and food production systems and their many combinations.

Types of papers sought

The papers must report original, previously unpublished findings in the fields of sustainable development of energy, transport, water, food and environment systems and policy. All papers will be reviewed under the direction of the International Scientific Committee by the Scientific Advisory Board. The abstracts and papers must be written in English. The papers with archival value (archival papers), meaning those that contribute significantly to the state of the art and report final results of research, with proper literature review, will be thoroughly reviewed and will be candidates for publication consideration in special issues of several archival journals. The papers that report work in progress, conventional projects without much contribution to the state of the art, and those lacking a thorough literature review, are invited as conference papers, and will receive less stringent review. Authors are invited to offer suggestion on classification of their papers as “archival” or “conference”, when submitting them.
