9th International Conference on Energy and Environment 17 - 18 October 2019

ABOUT THE ORGANIZERSUniversity POLITEHNICA of Bucharest

The University POLITEHNICA of Bucharest (UPB) isthe largest and most prolific technical university inRomania. Its traditions are connected to thefounding of the first Romanian technical school in1818 by Gheorghe Lazar. However, the legacy of ourinstitution, developed across two centuries throughthe effort of the nation's most importantschoolmasters and through generations ofstudents, is only a part of the complex communityand ethos our university.

At a time when the world urgently needs more people who understand science andengineering, we offer the power of practical problem-solving to companies and institutionsaround the globe, in the effort to explore a new model of university activity — enhancingcommunities through science. In order to face these complex challenges, our universityuses the power of our academic and student community in order to generate a soundeducational environment and to develop cutting-edge research. In fact, our entireeducational and even research-development policy is done with the participation of ourentire community.

Our mission has always been thought over as a blend of education, research and innovation- which, in our vision, represented a key towards a knowledge-based society and economy.But as we enter in our 200th year of existence, our community is truly brimming with ideasand energy.

Initiatives across the university seem to converge towards an even greater sense ofcommunity and a large common purpose: servicing our nation and the world throughsolutions to the global challenges. From clean energy to better traffic, from smarter citiesand enterprises to the future of the internet, UPB aims at deploying the convergence of thelife, physical, and engineering sciences as a catalyst for new solutions.

With this vision in mind, we are entering the 8th edition of the International Conference onEnergy and Environment, with the mindset of finding solutions to one of the most ardentchallenges of our generation - energy.

As always, the conference aims to respond to some of the important questions in therapidly developing fields of power engineering and environmental engineering, and toinspire both research studies and practical applications through promoting interactionamong scientists from universities, research institutions, and industry.


Politehnica University of Timisoara

Established in 1920, shortly after theunion of Romanian territories, in aEuropean context marked by theredefinition of states and by theaftermath of World War I, thePolytechnic School in Timisoara - as wasoriginally called - was the answer to oneof the requirements of the Romaniansociety of the time, namely theformation of engineers.

Politehnica University Timisoara, a university of advanced research and education, is todayone of the traditional Romanian schools and is recognized nationally and internationallyboth through the work of generations of teachers and the outstanding work of prestigiousacademics.

According to tradition, the mission of Politehnica University Timisoara resides in meetingthe competence requirements of the societal environment by providing superior training atundergraduate, graduate, and postgraduate levels. Bearing fundamental values, theuniversity mission reflects at the same time concern for the future of society, by tracing itsdevelopment at local, regional, national, and international levels.

Academy of Romanian Scientists

The Academy of Romanian Scientistsis a national forum of scientificconsecration, which brings togetherleading representatives of science.

The Academy of Romanian Scientistsis the successor and only heir of theAcademy of Sciences of Romania(1936-1948) and of the Association ofRomanian Scientists, founded in

1956, and which in 1996 changed its name in Academy of Romanian Scientists.

The main goals of AOSR are to promote, develop, support, and protect science inall its forms, through actions and methods, be they direct, indirect or adjacent.The main objectives of AOSR are:

• To promote at national level interdisciplinary research in natural, engineering,and applied sciences, as well as medical disciplines, etc. The annual organisationof two national interdisciplinary conferences.

• To initiate international contacts by creating links with academic bodies,research and higher education institutions from abroad, and also with Romanianscientists from abroad and foreign scholars.

• To develop an adequate framework where scientists from different fieldsmight meet, thereby contributing, through information, to the creation ofinterdisciplinary teams with a view to solving complex issues.

• To promote young researchers, by supporting their participation in scientificevents in the country and abroad, and by supporting them in obtainingscholarships, etc.

• To pen, on a contractual basis, through specialised structures, scientificresearch papers, to participate in governmental and nongovernmental scientific


research programmes, to prepare reviews, bibliographic references andsummaries.

• To provide annual awards to the best books published in various fields ofscience and culture.

The structure of AOSR comprises 13 specialised scientific sections and eightbranches located in university towns or other cities with significant scientificpotential: Bucharest – headquarters -, Braşov, Cluj-Napoca, Constanţa, Iaşi, Piatra-Neamţ, Târgovişte, Timişoara, and one branch in New York (USA).

AOSR has a Publishing House and a Library and under its aegis units of scientificresearch and the Foundation „Scientia” are operating. AOSR is composed of 40honorary members (2 of whom are members of the Romanian Academy), 133 fullmembers (including 12 members of the Romanian Academy), and 65corresponding members, selected on the basis of internationally recognisedcriteria of scientific and cultural visibility. It further includes 35 Romanians fromthe Diaspora and 62 foreign members, outstanding personalities of theinternational scientific life.


WEC-Romanian National Committee

The World Energy Council is the principalimpartial network of leaders andpractitioners promoting an affordable,stable and environmentally sensitive energysystem for the greatest benefit of all.

Formed in 1923, the Council is the UN-accredited global energy body, representing

the entire energy spectrum, with more than 3000 member organisations locatedin over 90 countries and drawn from governments, private and state corporations,academia, NGOs and energy-related stakeholders.

The World Energy Council informs global, regional and national energy strategiesby hosting high-level events, publishing authoritative studies, and working throughits extensive member network to facilitate the world’s energy policy dialogue.

The World Energy Council is the world’s principal network of energy leaders andpractitioners. The organisation has a co-ordinating Secretariat based in London,United Kingdom, under the direction of the Secretary General who reports to theWEC’s board, the Officers Council, under the leadership of an elected Chair.

The key functions of the WEC are guided by the Standing Committees, made up ofelected members from across the world. The WEC gathers annually for anExecutive Assembly to agree the strategic direction of the organisation.

WEC’s National Member Committee operates independently under a regionalisedstructure, with elected Regional Vice Chair’s to oversee activities and ensurecoordination.

Since it was created in 1923, when visionary Daniel Dunlop brought together 40countries to discuss the problems facing the global energy industry, the WEC hasbeen non-governmental and non-commercial. Founded in the aftermath of war, ithas withstood many changes, from geopolitical and economic upheavals to acomplete shift in the way people understand and use energy. It has had to adapt


to a changing world without ever straying from the initial concept of anorganisation that is impartial, objective and realistic in its analyses and in itsagendas for action in order to promote sustainable energy for all.

Today, the WEC has almost 100 national member committees, and its member listincludes governments, businesses and expert organisations. The World EnergyCongress, held over 20 times since the WEC’s founding, is recognised as theworld’s premier energy gathering. As we move forward through the 21st century,the WEC continues to grow and expand, building on its long and stable history asone of the key players on the global energy scene.

VENUETIMISOARA - CITY HIGHLIGHTS

The first record of the city of Timisoara, builton the site of an ancient Roman fortress calledCastrum Regium Themes, dates back to 1212.

Over the years, Timisoara, the largest city inwestern Romania, has been influenced bymany cultures. The Romans used it as animportant crossroads fortress until the Tatarsdestroyed it in the 13th century. Conquered byTurkish armies in 1552, Timisoara remainedunder their protection until 1718 when theregion of Banat came under Austrian rule fortwo centuries. Timisoara later became a vitalcommercial and manufacturing town. Turks,Austrians, Germans and Serbs all left their markand their influence can be seen inneighborhoods throughout the city even today.

The charm of this city, settled on the northern bank of the Bega River, lies in its distinctarchitectural character and vibrant cultural life. Frequently referred to as "Little Vienna,"Timisoara is home to year-round musical and theatrical performances, art galleries,museums and a buzzing nightlife. A progressive, cosmopolitan place, Timisoara was thefirst city in Europe and second in the world after New York, to use electricity to illuminateits public streets.

Timisoara was the first European city to introduce horse-drawn trams (in 1869) and electrical street lighting (in 1889);

Timisoara was built on a swamp; the Metropolitan Cathedral has 5000 oaks supports underneath it;

Johnny Weissmuller, Hollywood's original Tarzan, was born here.

Thanks to its mild climate, Timisoara has lots of public squares and lush green retreats. The


city is easy to explore on foot. If you get tired, a tram will be along in a moment; thesystem is fast, frequent and efficient.

Timisoara abounds with churches of several denominations, a Jewish quarter, an elegantbaroque square and a pedestrian-only downtown area. Some of the monuments in theheart of the city afford panoramic views, while the many parks in this "city of flowers"provide an idyllic spot to take a break from sightseeing.

LANDMARKS

In many respects, it is the abundance of Secessionist architecture that has providedTimisoara with its rather appropriate moniker, "Little Vienna." Secessionism developed intwo distinct architectural phases here. Sinuous lines and floral decorations characterizedthe first phase which lasted until 1908. The second phase, which continued until the FirstWorld War, saw simpler, larger buildings with geometrical designs. Secessionism inRomania was an important link between the Byzantine style and later modernistarchitecture.

Victory Square (Piata Victoriei)

Some of the city's most interesting sites are its elegant baroque buildings, spread aroundtown and particularly along the main square, Piata Victoriei, which stretches from OperaSquare (Piata Operei) to Loga Boulevard.

The focal point is the towering Romanian Orthodox Metropolitan Cathedral (CatedralaOrtodoxa Mitropolitana) at the south side of the square. Built between 1936 and 1946, itsgreen and red roof tiles are arranged in a mosaic design. In front of the Cathedral is amemorial to those who lost their lives during the 1989 Revolution which overthrewCommunist rule. The MemorialMuseum of the 1989 Revolution(Muzeul Revolutiei) offers a fullinsight into the revolution inTimisoara.

Union Square (Piata Unirii)

TimisoaraAcross the town centre isthe picturesque Habsburg-era PiataUnirii, so-named for the imposingsight of the Romano-Catholic and


Serbian Orthodox Cathedrals facing each other. Historic pastel-hued buildings line thesquare. During the 18th century, this was the city's commercial centre and the venue fornumerous military processions and religious ceremonies.

Nicolas Lenau College (Liceul Nicolas Lenau)

Located on the north side of the square, was built in 1761 and was home to the earliesttheatre in Timisoara.

The baroque Serbian Orthodox Cathedral (Biserica Orthodoxa Sarba), built in 1745-48, andthe mint green and white Serbian Bishop's Residence (Vicariatul Ortodox Sarb) with itsextravagant decorations are located on the west side of the square. The Cathedral can bevisited daily between 7am and 6pm.

The Roman Catholic Cathedral (Catedrala Episcopala Romano-Catolica)

TimisoaraOn the east side of thesquare was built between 1736and 1754 to the design of Fishervon Erlach and represents a fineexample of Viennese baroquestyle. The main altar paintingwas completed by MichaelAngelo Unterberger, director ofthe Fine Arts Academy inVienna.

The impressive 18th centuryBaroque Palace (Palatul VechiiPrefecturi) dominates thesquare's south side. Formerlythe governor's residence, it now houses the Museum of Fine Arts with works by German,Flemish and Italian artists.

At the northwest corner of Piata Unirii stands the spectacular Scont Bank (Banca de Scont).This typical Hungarian-style art nouveau structure, built in the early 20th century, featuresan organic shape comprising curved walls studded with turquoise tiles forming patternsdrawn from folklore, and extravagant iron gutters and window grills.

From Piata Unirii, walk east along Str. Palanca to the oldest building in Timisoara, now


housing the Banat Etnographic Museum within the city's remaining 18th century bastion.

Freedom Square (Piata Libertatii) to Victory Square (Piata Victoriei)

Another remarkable open space in the city is Piata Libertatii which offers a great display ofSecessionist architecture. The Banat region was under Turkish rule from 1552 until 1716when the Austrian-Habsburg Prince Eugene de Savoy took over Timisoara. At this time, aseven-star- shaped bastion and gate-towers were constructed and the marshessurrounding the town were drained by the new Habsburg governor, General Mercy.

Continue along Str. Lucian Blaga to the 14th century Huniade Castle (Castelul Huniade).Built during the rule of Carol Robert, Prince de Anjou, it was completed by Iancu ofHundeoara and redesigned by the Habsburgs in the 18th century.
