Following the success of the previous EEMODS Conferences (Lisbon (1996), London (1999), Treviso (2002), Heidelberg (2005), Beijing (2007), Nantes (2009), Washington D.C. (2011), Rio de Janeiro (2013), Helsinki (2015), Rome (2017)) the Japan Electrical Manufacturers' Association, with the scientific and technical support of the European Commission Joint Research Centre, is organizing the

Previous EEMODS events have been very successful in attracting distinguished and international presenters and attendees. The wide variety of stakeholders included professionals involved in manufacturing, marketing, and promotion of energy efficient motors and motor driven systems (pumps, compressors, fans, etc.), policy makers and researcher. Participants come from manufacturing, academia, research, utilities, and public policy.

EEMODS’19 will provide a forum to discuss and debate the latest developments in the impacts of electrical motor systems on energy and the environment, the energy efficiency policies and programmes, standards (including ISO 50.001) and programmes adopted and planned, and the technical and commercial advances made in the dissemination and penetration of energy-efficient motor systems.

The three-day conference will include plenary sessions where key representatives of governments and international organizations, manufacturers, program managers and experts will present their views and programmes to advance energy efficiency in motor systems, for example, through international co-operation on efficiency requirements. Parallel sessions on specific themes and topics will allow in-depth discussions among participants.

The conference is very international by nature, and aims to attract high quality and innovative papers and participants from every corner of the world.

To contribute to the success of the conference and to facilitate the development of new technologies, policies and strategies to increase energy efficiency, we invite you to participate in the conference and to submit papers on the below topics.
