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

"Then I say the Earth belongs to each generation during its course, fully and in its right no generation can contract debts greater than may be paid during the course of its existence"

Thomas Jefferson, September 6, 1789

"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."

Other important information:

Cancellation policy: Cancellations or any refund requests must be received in writing before December 14, 2023 to obtain a refund minus a 100 EUR administrative charge. After December 14, 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 Cancelled papers will not be published in Proceedings and will not be invited in the special issue.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 who 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but do not present their paper according to the guidelines, will have their paper cancelled and the paper will not be published in the Proceedings and will not be publishable in a special issue of any of the journals.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 September 4, 2023, since after that date the time will be too short for visa formalities (see visa page).

Publishing policy: Only papers presented at the Conference by one of the authors will be published in the Proceedings, which will be delivered to the participants online by January 29, 2024. Book of Abstracts and other Conference material including the application for later downloading online Proceedings, will only be delivered at the Conference venue to the presenting authors.
