WELCOME TO 7th KIFEE International Symposium on Environment, Energy and Materials
Kyoto International Forum for Environment and Energy (KIFEE) was created
in 2004 by the universities in the Kyoto region to establish an international
arena for multi-disciplinary strategic co-operation to develop a sustainable
society, inspired by the Kyoto Protocol. KIFEE has developed into an advanced
“process”/arena where people + trust + inspiration create multidisciplinary
teamwork cooperation that may solve challenges important for a sustainable
society. For aiming to promote and exchange the knowledge of the sustainable
society, the six symposia (2004 Kyoto, 2006 Trondheim, 2007 Otsu, 2009
Trondheim, 2011 Kyoto, 2012 trondheim) held so far, alternating between
Japan and Norway, have attracted some 50 participants from the visiting
side. This demonstrates not only the interest in the themes covered during
the meetings, but also the close friendships made between the colleagues.
Within this environment, discussions are held in a very open and productive
atmosphere.
The driving force for the successful development was the vision of KIFEE,
i.e to handle global challenges. This has attracted researchers from material
and energy sector to agree upon and develop new multidisciplinary working
areas. The material and energy areas are also strong international high-priority
areas in both Japan and Norway.
The KIFEE 2014 topics will include the following areas:
Wrokshops
1. Process Engineering
2. Electrolysis Systems and Advanced Inorganic Materials
3. Advanced Biological
Materials
4. Education in Energy and
Environment
Plenary Sessions
1. Strategic sessions
2. Sustainability sessions
