The organizing committee of Scientific conference and 10th Young Researchers School "Renewable Energy Sources" with the great pleasure invites students, PhD students, postgraduates, young researchers and lecturers to join our next 10th meeting, which will take place in Moscow, Russia on 10-13 October 2016 at the Faculty of Geography, Lomonosov Moscow State University (MSU), with the financial support of Russian Foundation for Basic Research.

Young Researchers Schools on renewable energy has been launched in 1999 at Lomonosov MSU. The Conference is organised by the Faculty of Geography, Lomonosov Moscow State University in cooperation with the institutes of Russian Academy of Sciences (JIHT, VIESH, etc.). Previous event, held in 2014, has gathered over 300 participants.

In 2016 the Conference and School will be held as an event of the International Forum "Renewable Energy. Ways to improve the energy and economic efficiency. REENCON-2016". Joint events are planned at the Innovation center "Skolkovo".

The Conference and 10th Young Researchers School will be holding lectures from leading experts in the field of solar, wind, geothermal, small hydro energy, bioenergy, renewable energy economics, etc. The program also includes oral and poster presentations of students, PhD students, postgraduates, young researchers and young specialists followed with a discussion of their works, contest of best works and winners awarding. We also plan to organize consultations with specialists and companies working in the field of renewable energy.

The topics of the Conference and 10th Young Researchers School "Renewable Energy Sources" cover the following research areas:

1.       Improving the efficiency of photovoltaic solar energy.

2.       Current approaches to solar energy conversion into heat: solar collectors, solar systems PV / T and hot-PV.
