Conference program is now available

The “triple helix” governing the knowledge based economy involves universities (research and education), industry (manufacturing) and governments (decision making) and, proving to be functional, this concept emerged in Europe was largely adopted by all the developed countries.

Economic growth mainly results from the new products and technologies, developed through interdisciplinary research, adopted by advanced industrial manufacturing processes, with new or strongly improved quality, that are cost effective and competitive in the market. Sustainable economic growth raises the question of resources and environment, and energy plays a key role, in terms of energy production, use and waste disposal. The past two decades witnessed the revival of renewable energies, with novel solutions targeting higher efficiency and lower costs.

A joint effort coming from RTD, education, companies, administration and policy makers resulted in a significant increase in the amount of renewables already implemented. The 3rd edition of the Conference for Sustainable Energy represents the opportunity to analyze the progress and to sense the openings expected for the next years. During CSE 2011, the contributions of RTD groups all over the world are welcome and we are looking forward to fruitful discussions that may contribute in (re)shaping this field.
