First Minister Alex Salmond MSP to open 10th World Renewable
Energy Congress & Exhibition
20 - 25 July 2008 Scottish Exhibition & Conference Centre, Glasgow,
Scotland, United Kingdom Registration details at
www.wrenuk.co.uk
First Minister Alex Salmond MSP will be joined at the Scottish
Exhibition and Conference Centre in Glasgow by the European
Commission's Director for Energy, the Secretary General of the Abu
Dhabi Environment Agency, the Assistant Director General of UNESCO
(United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organisation)
and the Director General of ISESCO (Islamic Educational Scientific &
Cultural Organisation), in addition to Peter Bonfield, Chief
Executive of BRE (Building Research Establishment) and the Deputy
Principal of the University of Strathclyde.
WREC 2008 is being organised on behalf of the World Renewable Energy
Network and follows on from the successful meetings in Florence
(2006), Denver (2004) and Cologne (2002). It will enable policy
makers, researchers, manufacturers, economists, financiers,
sociologists, environmentalists and others to present their views in
Plenary and Technical Sessions and to participate in discussions,
both formal and informal, thus facilitating the transfer of
knowledge between nations, institutions, disciplines and
individuals.
Attracting a truly international audience - over 100 countries
participated in WREC 2006 - this is a must attend event for anyone
with an interest in the supply, distribution, consumption, and
development of energy sources which are benign, sustainable,
accessible, and economically viable and will provide a unique
opportunity to learn of the latest developments in this rapidly
changing
and expanding field.
Themes will focus on all aspects of renewable energy, firstly
helping to ensure that they become a major contributor to a
sustainable and secure energy supply for the greater benefit of all;
as well as facilitating the knowledge exchange and business
engagement of participants from both developed and developing
countries; and finally, assisting with developing finance and
institutional support for renewable energy projects locally and
internationally.
Subject areas include wind energy, marine, biomass, hydrogen, solar
etc - as well as related issues such as policy, architecture and
gender. The gender issues will be addressed in a workshop "Engaging
Women in Energy Enterprises" the focus of which will be
understanding the impacts of energy on poverty in the developing
world and how that knowledge may be used to bring about a future
with
greater energy justice. There will also be a debate on the future of
architecture when faced with increased policy requirement to build
energy efficient buildings incorporating emerging technologies and
calls for new learning and training initiatives at all levels.
A banquet will be held at the Crowne Plaza on Wednesday 23rd July,
where the WREC/Ali Sayigh Trophy will be awarded to the country that
has progressed most in the renewable field
