The Solaris conference network provides a platform for meetings for professionals researching into the areas of solar radiation and daylighting, solar energy conversion systems and efficient energy use in the built environment. It has a long tradition of organizing such meetings (Edinburgh 2003, Athens 2005, Delhi 2007, Hong Kong 2008, Brno 2011, Granada 2013 and Maribor 2015). The main aim of the conference is presentation of state of the art in the solar energy and building energy research, to establish close contact among researchers for dissemination of their research outcomes and facilitate professional collaboration.
The deadline for submitting abstracts is 7th February 2017. Call for abstract for the conference is attached.
Conference Fee Structure is as follows:
Academics and industry professionals: £150
Students: £100
Conference dinner for all attendees: £25 per person
