CONGRESS THEME

When the effect of emerging markets phenomenon is added to these energy insufficiency and security phenomena, the demand-side pressure on energy needs increases the severity of the need. These pressures drag especially the countries with insufficient energy sources into bottlenecks. Therefore, the energy problem is constantly kept on the agenda by different institutions of different countries, and solutions are sought by developing interdisciplinary approaches.

The main theme of the 1^st International Energy Congress to be held in Istanbul by Nisantasi University Faculty of Engineering and Architecture and Faculty of Economics, Administrative and Social Sciences is to analyze the effect of energy’s technology, economy, and social dimensions on social wealth and is to reveal the opportunities created by technological change.
