Dear Colleagues and students,
In the framework of Green Partnership Project, funded by 1C-MED12-35-GREEN PARTNERSHIPS,
Local Partnerships for Greener Cities and Regions, financed by MED Programme, the Agricultural
University of Tirana, Department of AgroEnvironment and Ecology we are delighted to extend an
welcome to you to join us in the first International Conference of Green Energie and Environmental
Science in Albania, to be held in Agricultural University of Tirana, Albania, during December 1-2, 2014.
The International Conference Green Energie and Environmental Science in Albania (GEESA) to be
held in Agricultural University of Tirana in December 1-2, 2014, is dedicated to the improvement and
dissemination of knowledge on methods, policies and technologies for increasing the sustainability of
development, taking into account its economic, environmental and social pillars, as well as methods for
assessing and measuring sustainability of development, regarding energy, environment and food
production systems and their many combinations. The central theme of the conference will be renewable
energy, energy efficiency and sustainable development.
Main objectives of the conference are the following:
1. To give policy makers, researchers, technicians and other interested actors around Albania and
the Region the opportunity to present their work (curriculum innovation, research, activities,
practical projects) on sustainable development, energy efficiency and renewable energy;
2. To promote the exchange of information, ideas and experiences acquired during the execution of
projects from successful initiatives and good practices in renewable energy generation and use;
3. To discuss methodological approaches and projects which aim to integrate the issue of
sustainable and renewable energy in communities and Albania, support projects and implement
plans of action on renewable energy
4. To highlight the importance of innovation in the generation of technologies and in the promotion
of sustainable development
Last but not least, a further aim of the event will be to document and disseminate the experiences
available today. To this purpose, a book will be produced which features selected papers presented at the
conference. The acceptance of papers is subject to peer-review, and authors are requested to make sure
their manuscripts are of the highest
