It is an honor and a pleasure to invite you to the IX Conference face-to-face and on line: “Energy Community and Mini-Grid Models and optimization methods for sustainability” – Italian, European and US Conference on the great challenges of engineering (GCSP)
Research and Development groups, public and private, profit and no-profit, national and international that are dedicating to renewable energy plants for community use in Italy and abroad.
With the support of Regione Lazio, DIMA, University of Rome Sapienza.
We share Mini-Grid and Energy Community experiences, models and best practices.
from 8.00 to 11.00 face-to-face and online from the Sapienza University Faculty of Engineering
from 8.00 to 20.00 online from all over Italy and from all continents
Continuing the traditional appointment each year, it’s expected the intervention by representatives of DIMA and Departments Wisdom, of large and small municipalities, Rome – Lazio Region – RSE – University of Sannio – State University of New York – MIT – Columbia University – Arizona State University – University of Pisa – Vicariate of Rome – Elis – Strathmore – Technologies Solidaires – GC FSA- GC Energy Lab – azzeroco2 – Legambiente – IFEC – Engreen – Italian and Rest of the World University – Associations – Small and Large Companies – new Start Up… they will present the results of a new year of work.
A scientific moment of sharing for the 15 years of work of volunteers of Solidarity Technologies and also for the first year of the Grand Challenges Field Study Alumni with colleagues of African Universities and American colleagues.
The 2021 conference rewarded the work with:
582 Participants (from Zoom certificate), 6311 Views (from Linkedin certificate), 154 Research Departments (from Registration Forms), 85 Interventions ready for the publication of Proceedings, 15 Teachers AIMSEA Association of Italian Professors of Energy Systems, by the 9 Presidia of American Faculties for their Grand Challenges Scholars Program, the Senators most dedicated to the Energy Communities, and the various internationally renowned Managers, Engineers, Researchers and PhD students from 49 countries of the World representing the EU, Africa, South Asia and the Americas, 12 Hours in a row scientific interventions on models, algorithms and technologies in the industry.
Everything was possible only thanks to the organizational commitment lavished by Technologies Solidarity, Micro Grid Academy of RES4Africa, from the young “Grand Challenges ALUMNI” and the International Research Group Mini Grid Optimization, which presented the latest articles on the Energy Communities in Italy.
An academic moment to share research, projects and ideas: a “Pitch Marathon” based on interventions of 5 or 10 minutes and 3 thematic “break out rooms”, permanently open for informal discussions.
Papers/presentations will be accepted and evaluated for the proceedings, and the best scientific papers will be peer-reviewed and evaluated in various special issues of the sector’s scientific journals.
