INVITATION

It is our great pleasure to invite you to participate in the Energy and Sustainability in Small Developing Economies - ES2DE, to be held in Funchal, Madeira Island, July 10th to 13th, 2017. This conference is organized by UMa – University of Madeira and Madeira Interactive Technologies Institute (M-ITI).

Contributions are welcome in both theoretical developments and practical implementations in all areas involving Energy and Sustainability. Between all contributions presented, two will be selected to receive a best paper award. More information in the call for papers. ES2DE will provide an excellent opportunity for presenting new results and to discuss the latest research and developments in the field.

Participation of young scientists is strongly encouraged. A reduced registration fee will be available for students. The conference is intended as an international forum where an effective exchange of knowledge and experience amongst researchers active in various theoretical and applied areas can take place.

Participation of scientists from academia and industry is particularly welcome. The program will include also considerable space for promoting new technical applications and developments, real-world challenges and success stories.

This conference is co-located with IWOBI and IoTGC and participants can follow all the conferences.
