2016 "21st Century Energy Needs – Materials, Systems and Applications” (ICTFCEN)

School of Energy science & Engineering (SESE) of IIT Kharagpur is organizing an ‘International Conference on “21st Century Energy Needs – Materials, Systems and Applications 2016’ to be held during Nov. 17-19, 2016. IIT Kharagpur was established in 1951 and is the forerunner of IIT system of education in the country. SESE has recently been established at IIT Kharagpur for providing research and education in the area of energy. Renewable energy has substantial potential in sustainable energy systems. Cost effective technologies are essential to fully exploit different sources of renewables – solar, wind, biomass and other renewable energy systems. Fast growing centralized and decentralized renewable energy production has put demands on energy storage and distribution. Advances are also being made in the non renewable energy systems. The conference will be an opportunity for researchers, academics and engineers from all over the world to meet and discuss their latest research findings and developments in energy science.
