Event description:
The world community, and not least Europe, is confronted with converging crises, economic, environmental, employment and social. Energy - its availability at acceptable economic and environmental cost, and with the prospect of sustainability - is a key factor in confronting these crises. Given these circumstances, four leading European scientific organisations are committed to a synergetic engagement to evaluate and promote European research and technology competence in the energy field. Fundamental research of course must be structured for application, so that through engineering practice it can fulfil the requirements of society. The first European Energy Conference will not be an isolated event; it launches an ongoing forum of Communication and cooperation promoting energy-related research. The European Science Foundation, the European Association for Chemical and Molecular Sciences, the European Materials Research Society and the European Physical Society share the conviction that fundamental scientific aspects of energy research and development will be substantially more efficient, with faster progress and a promotion of understanding through an interaction of their specialist disciplines, chemistry, material sciences and physics. The European scientific community has the potential to optimise interdisciplinary cooperation and communication in energy research. Therefore this newly launched European Energy Conference series will promote, consolidate and communicate this vitally necessary synergy. Although focused on energy research and technology, this conference series fully recognises the political, economic, social and environmental aspects of energy supply and consumption. Sustainable development is ultimately a social and community imperative, which can only be accomplished within this larger context. The Conference will cover chemistry, physics and material sciences related to energy technologies. In addition to plenary keynote presentations on diverse energy themes, parallel sessions will deal with energy sources, storage and conversion of energy and end-use including energy conservation. Second call for abstracts now open! The scientific committee welcomes original contributions on the following topics: -- Primary Energy Sources: solar and environmental, fuels and earth and ocean, fission and fusion -- Energy Conversion and Storage: electrochemistry for energy, thermodynamics and thermal processes, supporting technologies -- End Use of Energy: the efficient home, transport, demand and environmental management -- Emerging Topics: for highly-relevant topics not covered by the sessions above Abstracts must be submitted online using the E2C submission form by 15 December 2009. Any submissions made after this date or in any other format will not be processed. Authors may submit up to 3 abstracts; a new form must be filled for each abstract. Contributed papers will be reviewed according to Energy and Environmental Science international standards (RSC Publishing - impact factor >4). Abstracts will be selected by the Scientific Organising Committee and authors will be informed of the outcome by 15 January 2010. For further information, contact: call@e2c-2010.org.
