SEED conference

International Conference on the Sustainable Energy and Environmental Development (SEED) is an international event addressed to scientists, professional engineers and engineering students from all over the world. It covers topics related to sustainable energy development and environmental protection, including non-renewable and renewable energy sources and technologies, green energy and economy, environmental policy and management, modelling, simulation and optimization of energy systems, etc.

The conference aims to give the opportunity to present and publish their work, discuss, exchange ideas and knowledge as well as network for future collaborations.
