The management of energy resources, especially in Algeria and other Mediterranean countries rich in natural resources, plays a critical role in today’s and future processes.

One of the second important issues is the analysis of energy technology, developments in energy logistics and the efficiency of resources. In addition to developments in the field of renewable energy, it is becoming important to evaluate the need for natural gas and oil, on which many countries are largely dependent, in terms of security of supply and increasing depth of demand. In this context, it is of critical importance to closely follow the technological developments in the energy sector. Infrastructure and investment deficiencies in the energy supply chain, including those of Mediterranean and African countries, remain important. It is aimed that this congress will contribute to the development of new strategic solutions on energy management issues by focusing on international sectoral analyses.

The secondary purpose of the congress is to provide a strong scientific platform for researchers and academics by considering these issues in the light of the latest developments. It is hoped that the papers to be presented at the panels organized by the joint call of Istanbul Nişantaşı University and MDI Business School will provide valuable contributions to the national and international academic world.
