The International Workshop on ADVANCES IN ENERGY STUDIES 2012 is the
eighth in an ongoing series of biennial meetings dedicated to
advances, innovation and visions in energy and energy-related
environmental and socio-economic issues. Energy security for
sustainable development is one of the most obvious but least discussed
topics in present times. In this workshop the Energy Studies community
will bring to the fore the issue on centre stage and challenges
participants to come up with practical solutions for the problem. The
call for papers is now open and proposals for contributions can be
submitted through our website. We look forward to seeing you at what
promises to be an exciting event.
