Welcome
Thank you very much for visiting our website and for your interest in IEEE PES ISGT Europe 2012. We are excited to host ISGT Europe in Berlin and to follow up on the excellent prior ISGT Europe conferences in Gothenburg 2010 and Manchester 2011. On this website, we want to provide you with in-depth information around the conference. Together, we strive to help making the IEEE PES ISGT Europe conference series a prime forum for addressing the central questions and solutions on smart grid technology. You find information on the topics in the “Essentials” and in the “Papers” sections of this website. In particular, we invite you to respond to our Call for Papers and share your contribution with the smart grid community.
We offer opportunities for sponsorship and, thanks to a good deal of demand, also opportunities for exhibiting. This is discussed in the “Exhibitors/Sponsors” part. We will update the website regularly as preparations progress.
This October, we have the famous Festival of Lights running in parallel with the conference, and 2012 is the 300th birthday anniversary of King Frederick II of Prussia. We share with you this unique Berlin flavor via our social program. We will provide relevant information in the “Program” section of this website.
If you have questions that go beyond the website or would like to give us comments or suggestions, we look forward to hearing from you. Please use the “Contact” button on the top right to get in touch. The best, of course, would be to discuss in person – from 14 to 17 October 2012. See you at ISGT.
Yours sincerely,
Kai Strunz
Professor at TU Berlin and Conference Chair
