The 7th Conference on Sustainable Development of Energy, Water and Environment Systems - SDEWES Conference, to be held in Ohrid on July 1-6, 2012, is dedicated to the improvement and dissemination of knowledge on methods, policies and technologies for increasing the sustainability of development by de-coupling growth from natural resources and replacing them with knowledge based economy, taking into account its economic, environmental and social pillars, as well as methods for assessing and measuring sustainability of development, regarding energy, transport, water, environment and food production systems and their many combinations. Sustainability being also a perfect field for interdisciplinary and multi-cultural evaluation of complex system, the SDEWES Conference has during the first decade of the 21st century become a significant venue for researchers in those areas to meet, and originate, discuss, share, and disseminate new ideas.
Abstract preparation and submission instructions:
An abstract is an extremely important part of the paper because it summarizes the entire paper; it is the public's window to your work and must allow the reviewers to make an intelligent decision about its acceptance. Its typical composition should be:
- Motivation for the paper
- Objectives
- What was done
- How it was done and validated
- Major results
- Conclusions
In writing the abstract, be quantitative, write it clearly and in good English, and do not exceed the imposed 1500-2500 characters length limit because accepted abstracts will be published in the proceedings, one page per abstract.
The abstracts should be submitted online (deadline for abstracts of archival submissions is December 15th):
