Energy Sustainability (RCPES)

In line with the decision of the LCEC and 1618 Energy to cancel the Beirut Energy Week 2024 (BEW24), the RCPES will be cancelled; but all accepted papers will be published in proceedings that are available online on the conference website.

The Regional Conference on Power and Energy Sustainability (RCPES), is in collaboration with the IEEE Lebanon section and the IE/PE/CAS/PEL Lebanon Joint Chapter.
The aim of the conference is to bring together graduate students, scientists, engineers, researchers, academics, decision makers, and representatives from diverse industries to present and discuss recent developments and scientific research efforts and outcomes pertaining to energy sustainability and to achieving the UN 2030 Sustainable Development Goals.
BEW24 is a major energy event in the region that will be held under the theme of “Energy Highways: Expediting Regional Cooperation”.
The scientific program of RCPES will include traditional research paper presentations as well as keynote presentations by prominent speakers.
