ISEES Young Scientist Award
Preamble
The International Society for Energy,
Environment, and Sustainability was founded at IIT Kanpur in January 2014
with an aim to spread knowledge in the fields of Energy, Environment,
Sustainability, and Combustion. It is a body of the most distinguished
engineers and scientists from the entire spectrum of the engineering
professions in the Government, R&D Laboratories, Academia, and Industry
from/within India and abroad.
In this changing environmental scenario, the time has come where more
emphasis has to be laid on renewable energy resources. Moreover, in this
dynamic scenario of swelling competition and reducing profits, staying
environmentally responsible can be extremely challenging for any
organization. More efficient systems have to be developed to meet the
increasing energy demands keeping in mind its environmental impact. People
have to become more aware and concerned about the environmental challenges
which the world is facing today to make it a better place for us and our
future generations.
The Society aims to spread knowledge in the above-mentioned areas among
people and make them more aware about the environmental challenges which the
world is facing today. The Society is involved in various activities like
conducting workshops, seminars, conferences, etc., in the above-mentioned
domains. The Society also recognizes young scientists and engineers for
their contributions in this field.
With a view to promoting the pursuit of excellence in the field of ‘Energy
