EEM 2013 - 10th European Energy Market Conference, EEM13

It is great pleasure to welcome you to the 10th European Energy Market Conference, EEM13, in Stockholm, Sweden, May 28-30 2013.
The International Conference on the European Energy Market is a premier forum for the exchange of ideas, open and direct discussion on the development of the energy markets in Europe. It has achieved a considerable success during the past nine editions covering the electricity and gas markets policies and experiences, climate change impacts on the sector and developments at the European level.
In 2013 this event is hosted in the KTH Royal Institute of Technology in Stockholm. The conference hosted several sessions with keynote speakers from the European institutions, industries, market agents and prominent academicians. Our parallel tracks with presentations and poster sessions covered a variety of energy topics, including a few new ones, focusing on the latest research. We had prepared a rich networking and social program, enabling additional discussion opportunities for the exchange of best practices.
On behalf of the local organising committee, I wish you a pleasant stay in Stockholm and I hope that the conference will be a rewarding and useful experience for you and your foundation's work.
