Papers are invited for the Arctic Energy Technology Conference to be
held in Anchorage, Alaska, on 15-18 October 2007. The call for papers
has been extended to Thursday, 15 February 2007.
The technology conference is one of three components of the Arctic
Energy Summit, an event endorsed by the Arctic Council and IPY. The
other components are an education and outreach program, and an Arctic
Energy Action Team that will develop practical means to implement energy
technology in the Arctic.
A benchmark of 200-250 papers is expected for the Arctic Energy
Technology Conference. Papers are welcome for, but not limited to, any
of the main conference themes:
- extractive energy;
- rural power; and
- sustainability of energy in the Arctic.
Abstracts for papers should be between 150 and 200 words, written in
English, and may be submitted at:
http://www.arcticenergysummit.org
Multiple submissions by individuals or groups of authors are welcome,
though each speaker will be allowed to present only one paper at the
conference. In the event multiple submissions are accepted, different
coauthors will be expected to each present a single paper. Selection
criteria for abstracts include contribution to energy technology or
rural power issues, relevancy to the Arctic, inclusion of new and
technically sound information that has not been previously published,
and the non-commercial nature of the papers. Authors will be notified by
Thursday, 15 March 2007, if their abstracts have been accepted.
The Arctic Energy Technology Conference will begin and end with plenary
sessions on energy policy and issues related to remote northern
communities. An industry exhibition featuring current Arctic energy
technology will be held during the conference. The Arctic Energy Summit
is sponsored by the Institute of the North in conjunction with
University of the Arctic.
