The PROMITHEAS Conference started as an activity of a FP6 funded project and has developed as an annual Conference for scientists and researchers working in energy and climate change policy issues. The 1st PROMITHEAS Conference titled “Energy Investments and Trade Opportunities” in 2008 was a two-day event focused on political and scientific topics. The PROMITHEAS Conferences titled “Energy and Climate Change” that followed were also two-day events, but were dedicated exclusively on research issues.
All events are hosted by the oldest university of Greece, the National and Kapodistrian University of Athens (NKUA); organized by the Energy Policy and Development Centre (KEPA) of the NKUA, coordinator of the PROMITHEAS Network and set under the auspices of the Black Sea Economic Cooperation (BSEC) Organization and the United Nations Academic Impact (UNAI).
This year the 6th International Scientific Conference titled “Energy and Climate Change” of the PROMITHEASnet will take place at the premises of NKUA on October 9-10-11, 2013 in Athens, Greece.
This year the Conference is oriented to “Policy Portfolios for emerging economies”. In the frame of this topic the outcomes of the FP7 funded project “PROMITHEAS-4: Knowledge transfer and research needs for preparing Mitigation/Adaptation policy portfolios” will be presented in a special session along with proposals for the optimization of these portfolios for the countries that participate in the project. The outcomes concern the Mitigation/Adaptation policy portfolios for twelve (12) countries (Albania, Armenia, Azerbaijan, Bulgaria, Estonia, Kazakhstan, Moldova, Romania, Russia, Serbia, Turkey and Ukraine). The Scientific Committee invites scientists, researchers, PhD candidates and policy makers from all over the world to participate.
