Green Energy & Water Supply
in Island Regions (GE-WIR)
Island of Tilos
Prefecture of Dodecanese
Aegean Archipelagos – Greece, September 5, 2015
Organized by the Soft Energy Applications & Environmental Protection Lab of the
Piraeus University of Applied Sciences and supported by the European Union and the
Greek Ministry of Education through the Excellence II research framework
Call for Abstracts
Organized by the Piraeus University of Applied Sciences, the GE-WIR Symposium aims to
designate energy and water supply issues encountered in island regions and to elaborate on
potential solutions. Special emphasis is given to this end to the investigation of integrated
schemes including renewable energy sources, energy storage and desalination, allowing for the
simultaneous treatment of energy and water supply problems and offering a set of sustainable
solutions compatible with the special needs of isolated island regions. The focus is given on
remote, small and medium scale island regions, exposed to insecurity of supply and extreme
costs of electricity and water use, reflected also in the case of Tilos island where the GE-WIR
Symposium will take place.
