Colloque : TMREES Conference Series - 2016 TMREES Fall Meeting

Introduction

 

Technologies and Materials for Renewable Energy, Environment and Sustainability

“TMREES Conference Series” has as a main objective to promote sustainable, healthy and diverse ecosystems; encourage & support the Sustainability and development of security systems through green-based and clean resources and processes, bringing together participants from international organizations, universities, industry and administrative around the world to exchange innovative and novel ideas, explore enabling technologies, share experiences in sustainability issues and to open a new window on the circumstances of the classical energy sources and their harmful impact on the society. 

 

The TMREES general philosophy is to bring together different disciplines of the global research community, in order to discuss, present and network the latest developments and innovations in sustainability; as well as funding opportunities.
