Themes

Energise aims to facilitate discussions on the latest research, technologies, business models and policies, resulting in information exchange and incubation of new ideas, with an aim to influence the inter-related energy efficiency and climate change dialogue in India.

At Energise, we will host peer-reviewed presentations on three core thematic areas: Buildings and Communities, Urban Infrastructure and Utilities, and Energy Efficiency for Business Competitiveness. Submitted abstracts and papers are currently going through a rigorous selection and peer review process will be accepted and also published as part of a knowledge compendium.
