ISAEM 2019

2nd International Symposium on Advanced Energy Materials: Production to Storage was organized by the Interdisciplinary Research Centre in Biomedical Materials (IRCBM), COMSATS University Islamabad, Lahore Campus. The event was held on 10 December 2019. The symposium received funding and support from Pakistan Science Foundation and National Natural Science Foundation China. The purpose of ISAEM 2019 was to create a platform where academic, scientific, and industrial stakeholders could meet and deliberate on the future of energy materials and technologies, particularly in the transition from production to storage of energy. The main thematic focus areas included: Current development and energy demand in Pakistan The significance of sustainable or renewable energy sources for Pakistan Narrowing the gap between academia and industry Promoting a collaborative environment for researchers and industrial practitioners Addressing the challenges and prospects in energy technology development in Pakistan The target participants of the symposium included, Students, University faculty and staff, Material scientists working in energy materials and technologies, Research & development laboratories and centers focusing on nanomaterials and related fields.

ISAEM 2018

1st International Symposium on Advanced Energy Materials: Production to Storage (ISAEM 2018) was successfully organized by Interdisciplinary Research Centre in Biomedical Materials at COMSATS University Islamabad, Lahore Campus on 25 Jun 2018. Event was well attended by the speakers and participants from all over Pakistan and abroad. ISAEM 2018 aim to bring together academics and researchers from within and outside of Pakistan to discuss latest progress and development in energy production and its storage. Speakers in the symposium highlighted the present energy situation within and outside of Pakistan. They all agreed that the present reliance on the fossil fuels such as oil, gas and coal should be reduced due to their adverse effects on the environment and depletion. They emphasized on the development of new renewable/alternative clean energy resources e.g. biomass, solar, wind etc. Furthermore, speakers discussed about the development of new materials to harvest sunlight and convert it to energy.
Here, are some of the highlights of the ISAEM 2018.
