About 5thAASEF / Greetings

The 5th Asia-Arab Sustainable Energy Forum (jointly with 7th International Workshop on Sahara Solar Breeder) will be held at Tsukuba in Japan for a period of May 10 through 13, 2015. Sustainable energy is a key issue for the future of the earth, which should be played primarily with people in Asia and Africa. This Forum brings together those who are interested in sustainable energy materials, devices, systems, and applications, with focuses on new silicon technology, large scale photovoltaic (PV) system and super grid. Presentations and discussions cover innovative silicon processes and solar breeder for the energy from the desert and superconducting DC electric transmission technology.

Venue and Access

Tsukuba City Tsukuba City is located approx. 50 km from Tokyo, only 45 min. by Tsukuba Express line (express railway) and 60 min. by car, which is an excellent accessibility from the central area of Tokyo. The topography is rather flat covered with rich nature, such as Mt. Tsukuba at the north which is familiar to many people, and Lake Kasumigaura at the east which is the second largest lake in Japan. The climate is relatively warm throughout the year, which makes a very comfortable environment. Tsukuba Science City was built in order to ease congestion of Tokyo and to conduct high-level research and education by transferring national research and development, and educational institutions systematically. The city is now the largest science technology accumulation site among the country, where more than 300 public and private institutions and enterprises are located.
