Symposiums
HYDROGEN ON ISLANDS
- HYDROGEN ON ISLANDS
- Time:October 22-25, 2008
- Venue:Bol, Island of Brač
Bluesun hotel Elaphusa - Web:www.em.com.hr/hydrogenislands
This conference is a direct result of the UNIDO's Hydrogen Islands Initiative, which has a goal to establish clean hydrogen energy systems on islands worldwide in order to provide a basis for sustainable development, and at the same time preserve their pristine environment. With renewable hydrogen energy systems, islands can become energy self-sufficient and serve as showcases for the development of a global hydrogen energy system. Hydrogen complements renewable energy technologies, not only solving the problem of their intermittent availability, but also serving as a clean, renewable, locally produced fuel for transportation.
The objective of the conference is to bring together island communities, experts, equipment suppliers, financiers, local governments and international organizations to facilitate exchange of technical and organizational information between similar projects on the islands and to discuss potential for hydrogen installations on other islands all over the world where hydrogen can solve some of the local energy problems.
POWER AND PROCESS PLANTS
INTERNATIONAL FORUM ON RENEWABLE ENERGY SOURCES
- 8th international scientific symposium POWER AND PROCESS PLANTS
3rd INTERNATIONAL FORUM ON RENEWABLE ENERGY SOURCES - Time:September 24 - 26, 2008
- Venue:Dubrovnik Palace Hotel
- Web:www.em.com.hr/dubrovnik
The first international scientific symposium entitled “Power and Process Plants” took place in Dubrovnik in 1994, as the first expert meeting held in this town after the ravages of war that it suffered in 1991. Nevertheless, the first symposium already met with an excellent response of professional circles and in the course of the years the number of participants kept growing. Since 2004 the programme has been supplemented by the International Forum on Renewable Energy Sources taking place as a rule on the last Symposium day.
The usual topics of the Symposium and the Forum respectively are as follows:
- energy economy, legislation, topical issues in power sector
- power and process plants, environmental protection
- testing, monitoring, rehabilitation and upgrading plants
- management, operation, maintenance, fuels and lubricants
- energy management, energy efficiency
- importance and role of renewable energy sources
- executed projects and possibilities of using renewable energy sources
The previous 7th International Scientific Symposium “Power and Energy Sources” and the 2nd International Forum on Renewable Energy Sources held in 2006 gathered 440 participants: experts and scientists in the field of power industry and energy economy, gas technology, renewable energy sources and environmental protection; representatives of higher-education and testing institutions, professional associations and government bodies, as well as the manufacturers of power equipment, plants and devices and engineering, designing and consultancy firms from Croatia and the world.
FORUM ON GAS
- 7. PLINARSKI FORUM
- Time:March 27 - 28, 2008
- Venue:Varaždinske Toplice
'Minerva' Hotel - Web:www.em.com.hr/plinarski_forum
The first Forum on Gas was held in Stubičke Toplice in 2002 and attended by 238 participants. Next year the venue moved to Varaždinske Toplice that hosted the further five forums on gas.
The Forum on Gas addresses the following specialized areas:
- gas systems and gas economy
- laws, regulations and standards in the field of gas and gas profession
- gas installation design and execution
- gas installation testing and accident prevention
- new technologies of gas equipment and fittings
- chimney-sweeping trade (Forum on Gas is the first expert gathering in Croatia dealing thematically with and systematically promoting the chimney-sweeping trade)
- liquefied petroleum gas and technical gases
- education and professional improvement in gas engineering
- Forum: giving answers to previously put questions and a brief discussion
The recent 7th Forum on Gas held in 2008 was attended by more than 500 experts from power and gas companies, project engineers, contractors, fitters and maintenance technicians for gas equipment, installations and fittings, representatives of manufacturers and dealers in gas equipment and fittings, officials from government and inspection bodies and chimney-sweeps from Croatia and the neighbouring countries.

- Time:15. svibnja 2008.
- Venue:Zagreb, zgrada MINGORP-a
- Web:www.em.com.hr/tlacna_oprema
The first Croatian Seminar on Pressure Equipment was held in Zagreb in 2004 and attracted immediately great attention of technical circles.
The preliminary programme of the next seminar includes the following topics:
- new laws, regulations and standards including necessary technical specifications in the field of stationary and mobile pressure equipment;
- obligations and authorities of participants in the process of manufacturing, marketing and use of pressure equipment;
- an overview of activities carried out by competent government bodies;
- new structure and competences of government, examination and control authorities in Croatia;
- control of pressure equipment on the market and in use;
- experiences of other countries.
At the 5th Croatian Seminar on Pressure Equipment all the participants will be provided new and topical information relating to this important technical area.
The recent 5th Croatian Seminar on Pressure Equipment held in 2008 was attended by more than 200 experts from designing, engineering, consulting and contracting companies dealing with pressure equipment and plants, experts and scientists from university and testing institutions, government and inspection bodies and manufacturers and dealers in pressure equipment, or rather everybody coming daily into contact with such equipment (gas, oil and other pipelines, gas tanks and cylinders, etc.).
