CSE

Renewable Energy Systems and Recycling R&D Centre, RESREC
Faculty of Product Design and Environment, Transilvania University of Brasov, Romania

The RESREC center was founded in 2002 and currently gathers 24 permanent members, along with 6 Ph.D. candidates enrolled in the Faculty of Product Design and Environment.

The main research focus is on complex, integrated solutions for the built environment in sustainable communities, based on renewable energy systems for energy efficient buildings, covering the concept “material-product-technology”. Renewable energy conversion systems are developed and adapted to the implementation location for covering the thermal and the electrical energy demand in buildings, along with novel solutions, based on solar radiation, for advanced wastewater treatment targeting water re-use and for using wastes as second raw materials for novel products development.

Renewable Energy Commission of the Romanian Academy
and
Energy Commission of the Romanian Academy

Romanian Academy is the highest scientific and cultural structure in the country that gathers recognized Romanian and foreign personalities, acting for promoting research and science as active parts in the society. The Technical Sciences Section of the Romanian Academy has launched the Renewable Energy Commission as a representative forum for promoting new trends in using clean energy resources as an efficient path towards sustainability. The Energy Commission is a specialized body of the Romanian Academy focused on analyzing, advising, and researching energy-related issues in Romania. 

Romanian Academy of Technical Sciences, ASTR

Romanian Academy of Technical Sciences is the national forum of leading figures in the field of engineering, debate and promotion actions through the application of new knowledge to lead the progress of Romanian society. Its mission is to promote cooperation within the field of Engineering in Romania, in the European Countries and in other countries so as to ensure concentration of efforts in the resolution of technical, economic and social problems by the development of R&D activities. 

European Sustainable Energy Innovation  Alliance, ESEIA

European Sustainable Energy Innovation Alliance is a recognised European association of leading cross-sector organisations advancing the transition to sustainable energy systems, representing the entire renewable energy innovation landscape, from energy provision to energy consumption, across research, education, business, and governance.

International Federation for the Science of Machines and Mechanisms, IFToMM
              
International Federation for the Science of Machines and Mechanisms’ mission has always been to bring the people from different nationalities and systems together for the exchange of science and the strengthening of international bonds in the general area of mechanism and machine science. Such strong weaving of peoples is more important than ever, and IFToMM is continuing this mission with a strongly growing network of its constituting member organizations. Support is given by promoting national and international conferences in the subject areas of IFToMM, discussing strategies and challenges in 14 open technical committees and 3 permanent commissions, bestowing of awards, sponsoring young conference participants, inspiring enthusiasm in students for mechanism and machine science through Student Olympiads, and most of all by fostering friendship and common work between regions far across the world for the tackling of tomorrows technical challenges.

Technical Committee Sustainable Energy Systems, TC SES of IFToMM 

Technical Committee Sustainable Energy Systems promotes the Sustainable Energy Systems applied in the Renewable Energy Conversion Systems (solar, wind, hydro, biomass, geothermal); the TC struggles to implement the complex concept of “sustainability” of the mechanical systems and mechanisms, by defining the role of mechanisms in increasing the energy efficiency, in developing new systems for renewable energy conversion on products, buildings and communities. The vision of the TC on mid- and long-term is to significantly contribute in the transition towards a novel, clean and affordable energy pattern, implemented at the level of sustainable communities.

Cross Disciplinary Group 1:  Securing our Future Environment - Air, Water, Energy of IFToMM 

The Cross-Disciplinary Group “Securing our Future Environment – Air, Water, Energy” seeks to present IFToMM as an active world organization that can contribute to United Nation 2030 Development Agenda, highlighting all research activities realized in the IFToMM community that can contribute to reach some of the targets within the global Sustainable Development Goals. Its aims are to increase the awareness related to global Sustainable Development Goals within the IFToMM scientific community, to generate a network of active researchers with specific interest on effects of new technologies for a sustainable world and to foster the dialogue between technologists and humanists.
