The International Symposium on Energy Management and Sustainability (ISEMAS) is a multi-disciplinary symposium that presents research on current issues in energy efficiency, social awareness, and global climate change. The conference provides a platform offering insights on the latest trends and innovations in energy management and the impact of sustainability on energy management processes. In this context, it aims to bring together sectoral, scientific, and demand-related elements in the field of energy. ISEMAS allows researchers, scientists, engineers, practitioners, policymakers, and students to exchange information, present new technologies and developments, and discuss future direction, strategies and priorities that improve environmental sustainability.
