WSEDnext - an event for young researchers
The conference "WSEDnext" offered a platform both for presenting the work of young researchers and professionals as well as for interaction with experts and decision makers from industry and institutions. It was held in the framework of the World Sustainable Energy Days 2013 (WSED13) conference.
Young researchers and young professionals were invited to submit contributions. Linked to the main topics of the WSED13, WSEDnext focused on biomass and energy efficiency in buildings. Deadline for submission was 8 October 2012.
A scientific committee selected papers for oral or poster presentation.
The organiser of the WSED, the OÖ Energiesparverband, covered the costs for accommodation, meals, participation and local transport for up to 60 selected participants for 3 conference days (arrival: 26 February, departure: 1 March).
Submissions were invited from any scientific field (e.g. technology & engineering, economic and social sciences, law, arts, etc.) and must be in English only.
In 2012, the WSEDnext event was held for the first time, young researchers from more than 25 countries participated in a very successful and interesting conference.
