International Conference on Renewable Energy

Research for a better future

Renewable Energy forms one of the pillars for delivering a global sustainable environment and the commitment to climate change targets. The renewable energy industry has matured, with huge investments being ploughed into it globally. Global new investment in renewable energy (excluding large hydro-electric projects) was around US$241.6 billion in 2016, with over 138.5GW of added renewable power capacity worldwide. This capacity is equivalent to 55% of all the generating capacity and was approximately double that in fossil fuel generation in 2016. International Conference on Renewable Energy series addresses research and development in renewable energy technologies including energy efficiency. It is an annual meeting planned to be held in different countries, initially within Europe, with Asia, Middle East, Africa, and Latin America being highlighted as target regions for the conference.

The next in the series of the International Conference on Renewable Energy is the ICREN 2020 focusing on international participation including experienced and young researchers with interest in renewable energy studies.

ICREN 2020 will include articles and presentations on the latest research on renewable energy technologies, grid interactions, energy efficiency, data analytics, economics and finance, environmental and social impact as well as policy and climate change implications.

This conference will gather an excellent group of Plenary speakers from different topics and will be held online on November 25-27, 2020.

ANNOUNCEMENT

After careful consideration, the Chairman and the Organizing Committee have decided to transform ICREN 2020 into an online conference. Indeed, travel restrictions and pandemic progress are creating too much uncertainty regarding the organization of in-person conferences. In addition, a survey has shown that 86,4% of the participants prefer the alternative of the online meeting instead of a cancellation. This will not replace the in-person conference but it allows the community to maintain a link. Moreover, this conference will be eco-friendly and cheaper since everyone can participate from home.

The committee will take this opportunity to invite a wider range of high-profile speakers and build a very attractive program. In addition, we would like this edition to be interactive with AV discussions over the talks and full of opportunities to network. Providing you with a smooth meeting technically speaking is also one of our main priorities.

Please note that the committee has experience with organizing interactive online conferences. We have designed an intuitive dashboard representing the conference lobby and where you can access to each room with a single click. A welcome desk will be available every day with a staff member that you can talk with and each participant can ask for a technical test prior to the event by sending an email to icren2020@premc.org. You will have access to the participant’s list before the conference via a networking app and several activities will be available during the breaks to facilitate the networking between participants, there will be also rooms dedicated to the speakers in order to extend the Q&A and others dedicated to open positions opportunities to encourage the creation of new collaborations. All live speakers will be contacted by the committee at least one week before the conference in order to run a quick technical test.
