4th International Youth Conference on Energy (IYCE)2013
6 - 8 June 2013
Hungary

The International Youth Conference on Energy (IYCE) had three successful previous editions in 2007 and 2009 in Hungary and 2011 in Leiria, Portugal, organized by the Student Association of Energy (SAE), providing a good opportunity for young experts working in different fields of energy- and power engineering to present their work in an international forum and make contacts for their future. The fourth edition of this conference will take place in Siófok, Hungary, on the southern shore of Lake Balaton, the largest lake in Central Europe.

The conference will include plenary sessions, oral and poster sessions with the main goal to offer the participants a wide platform for discussions and experience exchange in an informal and smooth atmosphere.

The meeting is also aimed to give the opportunity for making new friendships in a pleasant environment. Therefore apart from the technical sessions, the social programs will allow the desired informal interaction between the participants and also give a touristic overview of Hungary in particular the historical sights and the wine regions of Balaton. The lakeside proximity in the summertime is an added bonus to this location and will be well exploited.

Topics include, but are not limited to:
1. Energy
Power plants (conventional and nuclear too) • Fusion power research • Renewable energy sources • Distributed generation • Fossil and renewable fuels • Energy supply, energy efficiency • Actual questions of energy policy • Sustainable energy management • Energy in buildings
2. Power Engineering
