Aim & Scope
==========
ENERGYCON 2018 is the 5th IEEE International Energy Conference and will be held between 3-7 June 2018. It is organized by the IEEE Cyprus Section, the IEEE PES Cyprus Chapter, and the KIOS Research and Innovation Center of Excellence of the University of Cyprus, in partnership with IEEE Region 8.
ENERGYCON covers a broad range of electric power and energy systems topics and is open to contributions that are related to the theme “Towards Self-healing, Resilient and Green Electric Power and Energy Systems”.
ENERGYCON aims to attract scientists, professional engineers and engineering students from all over the world and give them the opportunity to present and publish their work, discuss, exchange ideas and knowledge as well as network for future collaborations.
Accepted and presented papers will be published in the conference proceedings and appear in the IEEE Xplore Digital Library.
We are looking forward to organizing an exciting and memorable conference with a rich technical and social program. The conference venue will be the St. Raphael Resort, which is a 5-star hotel located on one of the most renowned and largest beaches in Limassol, 10 minutes away from the lively center of the city.
