"You never change things by fighting the existing reality. To change something, build a new model that makes the existing model obsolete."

Buckminster Fuller, philosopher, futurist and global thinker (1895 - 1983)

"If there are to be problems, may they come during my life-time so that I can resolve them and give my children the chance of a good life."

Kenyan proverb

Sustainable development is development that meets the needs of the present without compromising the ability of future generations to meet their own needs."

The Report of the U.N. Brundtland Commission, Our Common Future, 1987

Other important information:

Cancellation policy: Cancellations or any refund requests must be received in writing before August 24, 2023  in order to obtain a refund minus a 100 EUR + VAT administrative charge. After August 24, 2023 refunds are not available, sorry, no exception. Cancelled papers will not be published in Proceedings and will not be invited in the special issue.

No show policy: Authors which do not participate in the Conference, or who participate but do not present their paper according to the guidelines, will have their paper cancelled and the paper will not be published in the Proceedings and will not be publishable in a special issue of any of the journals. In case of no show fee refund is not possible.

Online fees policy: Authors that settle an online fee will present through video or audio narrated presentations on our virtual conference platform with the same publishing policy as if presented in person. Authors will have the right to present online also in the case the conference is held on-site. Authors that pay an online fee but decide to attend in person will have to settle the fee difference. Authors that pay or have paid a regular fee but choose to present in an online mode will receive a SDEWES credit in the amount of their fee difference that may be used for any future SDEWES Conference.
The deadline for the above-mentioned changes will be the same as the cancellation/refund deadline.

Participants that need visa are kindly asked to settle their fee before July 3, 2023, since after that date the time will be too short for visa formalities (see visa page).
