GIK-SDSU International Conference on Next Generation Energy Technologies April 01-03, 2016
The ever-increasing energy demand and growing concern about climate change has ignited a massive effort to develop new energy technologies which are environmental friendly and affordable. Unlimited forms of clean and renewable energy sources, such as solar energy, are abundantly available. Cost effective energy generation, conversion, harvesting and storage can endlessly fuel our civilization. The aim of this conference is to bring together scientists, engineers, and technologists to share, discuss and review the state-of-the-art in research and application of novel concepts to next generation energy technologies, industrial opportunities, energy generation/conversion/harvesting storage devices/systems, materials, their characterization and modeling & simulation.
We will be happy to invite as keynote speakers the leading scientists, researchers, engineers, and technologists that are working in the energy related technologies. The last date for the submission of abstract for the oral and poster presentations is March 20, 2016. From outside Pakistan, papers may also be presented on Skype.
