A warm welcome from Conference Chair Alexandros Charalambides:

My name is Alexandros Charalambides, an Associate Professor at the Cyprus University of Technology. I have been working in Limassol for the past 15 years and this vibrant city is the perfect combination of work, nature, and pleasure. You can enjoy a quick swim before the conference, while adventure to the mountains for wine tasting at night. We look forward to hosting Eurosun2024 and showing you the many faces of Cyprus. For those working on forecasting intra-day PV energy output (like myself), Cyprus, an isolated not interconnected power system, also offers a unique research perspective for you to explore.

 

Local Host ISES-Cyprus

ISES-Cyprus is the National section of the International Solar Energy Society (ISES).
The main objective of ISES-Cyprus is to promote activities within the framework of the International Solar Energy Society. To this end, ISES Cyprus organizes local technical visits, conferences and seminars related to renewable energy sources since its establishment in 1990.

 

A warm welcome from ISES Cyprus President Polycarpos Polycarpou:

I am Dr. Polycarpos Polycarpou, I studied Mechanical Engineering at the Technical University of Hannover. I worked at the Agricultural Research Institute of Cyprus conducting research in renewable energies and their applications in the agricultural sector. For the last 14 years I have been the Vice-Director of the Institute with my main areas of research being the application of solar energy in heating of greenhouses, production of biofuels (pellets for heating, biogas, biodiesel and bioethanol production, drying of agricultural products using solar energy, etc. Since 4 months now I am retired and lately I was elected as President of ISES- Cyprus. As I am doing for the last 40 years, I shall try to further promote the use of solar energy in Cyprus within the framework of the International Solar Energy Society. These aim at the development and application of science and technologies associated with solar energy, the renewable energy sources and the viable, sustainable development especially concerning the interests of Cyprus towards 100% renewable energy.
