It is our pleasure to announce that the 17th Conference on
Power Electronics and Applications, EPE’15-ECCE Europe,
will take place in Geneva, Switzerland, from the 8th to 10th
September 2015.
The EPE’15 ECCE Europe conference will be hosted by
CERN, the European Organization for Nuclear Research.
Founded in 1954, laboratory sits astride the Franco-Swiss
border near Geneva. It was one of Europe's first joint
ventures and now has 21 member states. At CERN,
physicists and engineers are probing the fundamental
structure of the universe. They use the world's largest and
most complex scientific instruments to study the basic
constituents of matter. Protons and lead ions are collided at
close to the speed of light, giving the physicists clues about
how the particles interact and providing insights into the
fundamental laws of nature. Particle physicists and their
accelerators have for decades required the design,
development, construction, control and operation of high
precision power converters.
The conference is organized in collaboration with the Ecole
Polytechnique Fédérale of Lausanne (EPFL), the
prestigious Technical University located beside the Lake
Léman. EPFL’s recent progress within the international
rankings involves not only its School of Engineering, but
also the Schools of Life Sciences and Computer and
Communication Sciences, as well as Basic Sciences.
Geneva offers a wide variety of hotels. A large number of
rooms in various categories at different negotiated rates
have been blocked for the time of the conference. The hotels
are located in the vicinity of the conference venue in the city
centre and are accessible easily by public transport. Your
hotel will provide a free Geneva Transport Card.
We are looking forward to welcoming you to Geneva.
Imagine a place that brings the world together…
