A number of highly distinguished international energy experts will participate in this year’s annual IENE conference which will be held in Athens on November 11 and 12. The conference, known as "Energy & Development”, this year celebrates 20 years of continuous organisation headed by Costis Stambolis, who started this major regional event in June 1996 (before IENE was founded, in 2003). The central theme of this year’s "Energy & Development” conference conceives the "Role of the Energy Sector in Revitalising Greece’s Economy” although the conference will as usual cover a much broader subject area. The conference’s tentative programme has already been uploaded at IENE’s website and can be accessed through the conference banner.
The group of international speakers in this year’s conference includes: Dr. Volkan Ozdemir, Chairman EPPEN- Institute for Energy Markets and Policies, Ankara, Turkey, Prof. Abbas Maleki, Energy Policy, Dpt. Of Energy Engineering, Sharif University of Technology, Iran, Mr. Mihailo Mihailovic, Independent Consultant, PE Electric Power Industry of Serbia, Belgrade, Serbia, Prof. Radu Dudau, Director, Energy Policy Group (EPG), Bucharest, Romania, Mrs. Beate Raabe, Secretary General, Eurogas, Brussels and Dr. Katja Yafimava, Senior Research Fellow, Oxford Institute for Energy Studies, UK.
Further information about the conference will become gradually available through IENE’s website as speakers’ participation in the conference is confirmed and programme details get finalized.
