Dear Colleagues, Dear Students!

The European Conference and Workshop on Renewable Energy Systems (ECRES - EWRES) aim to be an independent academic forum for the clean energy researches following the technical, social, economical and environmental needs of the European Community for the cutting-edge renewable energy explorations. Within that context, the present and future perspectives on the renewable energy problems are discussed by the scientists and the advanced courses on the multidisciplinary energy topics are presented to the students by the European experts. The workshop, itself, does not only include the presentations of the participating scientists but also covers some special invited lectures on wide ranges of renewable energy problems.

The driving force for the renewable energy systems is the broad application areas which enable the most efficient carbon-free energy solutions. Because of these areas, the renewable energy explorations have a number of different resources from different faces of nature namely, waves, wind, sun, plants, natural vibrations, etc... Therefore an interdisciplinary approach is required for the design and implementation of the renewable energy systems. In fact, one should be aware of at least thermodynamics, statistical physics, fluid dynamics, electric machines, control theory and practise, networks, dynamics, mechanics, electromagnetic field theory, sociology, politics, philosophy, solid state physics, mathematics, biology for many of the energy explorations. Therefore the target of this workshop is to inform the students (PhD, MSc and outstanding undergraduate) who work on energy issues in order to assist their studies and gather different academic groups and experts all over the Europe to found a forum to make joint studies and refresh their mind to solve the scientific problems in that media.

ECRES and EWRES will be the first event which introduces the principles of the "decent energy solutions to the generations". The main steps to arrive at a decent energy solution will be discussed by the experts in that manner. The high-qualified presented papers which are selected by the scientific committee of the workshop will be peer-reviewed and published as two seperate Special Issues at;

-An SCI-covered journal with high citation rank,

-International Journal of Renewable Energy Research (IJRER)

The workshop includes a number of social and cultural activities in addition to the research and teaching during 12 days. Visiting the different historical places of Turkey, listening and seeing Turkish folkloric dance and music can be mentioned in that case.
