The International Solar Energy Society (ISES) rises to meet global challenges

Freiburg, Germany (ots) - Achieving the transformation to 100%
renewable energy requires the strength of knowledgeable experts,
emerging young professionals, a strong industry and support from
financial institutions and government. 2015 marks an important year
as the International Solar Energy Society, ISES, celebrates 60 years
of advancing the energy transformation.

-- To support the work of renewable energy professionals, ISES
recently re-launched the International Experts Network (IEN),
on online service to connect those searching for expertise with
the experts. It is an interactive and growing database of
professionals, companies and institutions from all renewable
energy fields working around the globe. The IEN platform is set
to become a keystone platform to support the work of those
professionals whose work is moving the renewable energy
transformation forward.

-- This year the ISES Solar World Congress 2015 will be taking
place from 8th to the 12th of November in Daegu, South Korea.
Participants from all over the world will attend and present
their research, projects and work in all fields of renewable
energy, network and learn from expert plenary and keynote
speakers on a range of technical and cross cutting issues. The
event comes just before the COP21 in Paris and will play a
vital role bringing the voice of the renewable energy community
to our world leaders.

-- The ISES webinar series was created to reach out to a global
audience on the latest in solar energy. Every month ISES holds
a live webinar for free on a different solar energy topic
ranging from technical to cross cutting topics. Distinguished
experts in their fields share their knowledge with participants
from around the world, from developing and developed countries.

-- An exciting development within ISES flagship publication, the
Solar Energy journal, is the restructuring of the journal into
four distinct sub-sections. Under the leadership of the
Editor-in-Chief, Dr. D.Y. Goswami, the Editorial team is being
expanded to include four Subject Editors who will cover the
most prolific areas of the journal. Over the past 5 years the
number of submissions to the journal has increased by 27% and
the number of articles published has more than doubled.
Research in the solar energy and all renewable energy fields is
driving force to achieving the 100% renewable energy
transformation.
