ASES National Solar Energy Conference 2012: Call for Papers and Participation

Do you work in, or have dealings with, a renewable energy industry?  Are you working as an engineer, scientist, policy executive, advocate, or manager in this field?

If so, now’s the time to be thinking of whether you can submit a paper to, or participate in, next year’s ASES National Solar Energy Conference. You can find the Call for Participation and Papers here.

Next year’s Conference is going to be very different from recent ones.  It will be colocated with the biennial World Renewable Energy Congress under the umbrella heading of the World Renewable Energy Forum (WREF).  It will take place in the LEED silver-certified Colorado Convention Center in downtown Denver, CO, from May 13 – May 18.

The theme of WREF 2012 will be EmPowering the World with Renewable Energy.  It will look not only at how renewable energy technologies can address the environmental and energy crisis from an international perspective but also what it will take to integrate renewables into the world’s infrastructure on a very large scale.  To accomplish this energy transition, it will not be enough simply to power our electric grids with renewable energy;  we need also to empower people to play active roles in our energy transition, especially in developing nations.

We’ll be bringing you more information about WREF 2012 in Solar Citizen each month from now until next May, but you can check out the Call for Participation and Papers right here and now.
