REDEC 2012 - 2012 International Conference on Renewable Energies for Developing Countries (REDEC)

It is with great pleasure that we announce the “first International Conference on Renewable Energies for Developing Countries”. The conference will be held in Beirut, capital of Lebanon on 28-29 November 2012 where multiculturalism is respected. We take this opportunity to thank all the parties that are supporting this event in terms of logistic and financial assistance. Special thanks also to the RESSOL MEDBUILD European project which without it, it wouldn’t be possible to organize such an important and great scientific forum.
The main objective of the conference is to make developing countries benefit from international experience in the domain of renewable energies. Governments of these countries are gathering all the way and all the time economical and scientific means in order to allow their citizens to enjoy a free and healthy life in a safe environment (as stated by Mr. Kofi Annan, former Secretary General of the United Nations). Most of these regions of the world are subject to economical constraints and this is why they can’t afford investing in cost-effective “green” projects. Therefore, we encourage researchers from all over the word to participate and submit their original ideas and results in order to be discussed in a way to see how they could be applied for developing countries.
The organizing committee is actually working hard for the success of the conference. They are doing contact with worldly-known researchers in the domain of renewable energies for inviting them to be members of the scientific committee. Some financial support is available for inviting keynote speakers to present studies they have led for such purpose. Social programs will be organized to make participants benefit from their stay in Beirut.
The success of this first international conference is a very important issue for the organization of other REDEC activities. REDEC 2012 will be hopefully followed with other projects and meetings in order to make sense of the conference outcomes.
Finally, we hope that you will find the conference enjoyable and valuable, and also you will be able to benefit from your stay in Beirut.
