Welcome EnergEn 2018

The 2018 Conference “New Cryogenic and Isotope Technologies for Energy and Environment” (EnergEn 2018), organised by the National Research and Development Institute for Cryogenics and Isotopic Technologies – ICSI Rm. Vâlcea, will be held at Băile Govora, Romania, between 24-26 of October, 2018.

The aim of the Conference is to provide a forum for Romanian and foreign researchers, scientists and engineers to present and discuss the current status of modern technologies, experimental techniques and actual developments.

We expect theoretical, methodological and conceptual reports discussing advancements, technical challenges, and novel applications in material science, processes, instrumental developments and isotope applications for energy and environmental & health.

In the heart of Romania, surrounded by the charismatic beauty of the sub-Carpathians, the EnergEn 2018 will provide the best environment for scientific discussions and new partnerships at Palace Hotel, Băile Govora, a place that can easily stimulate your inspiration and creation.

Come and enjoy Science at EnergEn 2018!

It is located at west of the Olt River, in the Sub-Carpathian zone, at an altitude of 360–380 meters, in a region of hills covered by forests of beech, oak, spruce, pine and acacia. The resort is known for its springs rich in chloride, sodium, iodine, bromine, sulfur (for external treatments) and in magnesium, calcium, a small quantity of sulfur (for internal treatments) used since 1866 for different diseases. The meeting will be held at the Palace Hotel, a jewel of the early 20 th century architecture, located within the Central Park of Băile Govora spa.

Historical monument built in the period 1911-1914, by the designs of a French architect, Ernest Doneaud, Palace Hotel was the first hotel in Romania with its own spa treatment center. The building architecture is eclectic with influences from the Art Nouveau style combined with Neo-Romanian architectural elements. The building has 365 openings (arcade, doors and windows), the figure symbolizing the number of days in a year. Situated in the middle of the Central Park, the hotel was complete renovated between 2009 and 2013; has 93 rooms classified as 4* and 39 rooms classified as 3*, restaurant, terrace, bar, spa center (fitness, sauna, swimming pool), parking.
