It is a great pleasure to welcome you to the 2nd International Conference on Energy & Environment: bringing together Engineering and Economics, ICEE, in Guimarães, Portugal, June 18-19, 2015. 

 

The conference is organized by the School of Engineering, University of Minho and the School of Economics and Management, University of Porto.

 

ICEE brings together leading academic scientists, researchers and scholars from the energy and environment science community to interchange knowledge, to discuss and to disseminate new ideas towards a low-carbon, sustainable future. 

 

Indeed, energy and environment transition issues require much more than pure technology knowledge. Instead, they involve processes of technological transfer where economics, social sciences, and even politics play decisive roles.

 

You will also have the opportunity to visit Guimarães, a magnificent city of medieval origin known for being the cradle of the Portuguese nation. You may have then admire the remarkably well preserved Historical Quarter of Guimarães classified by UNESCO as World Heritage site since 2001, getting also in contact with the popular traditions and taste the famous gastronomy of the Minho region.

 

We are looking forward to meeting you in Guimarães in June 2015!
