About Environment-Friendly Energies and Applications (EFEA)

Environment-Friendly Energies and Applications (EFEA) is a forum for bringing academics, scientists, engineers and industry together to discuss the recent developments in environment friendly energies and their applications. The main theme of this symposium is on renewable and sustainable energy systems, hybrid transportation systems and energy security. The 5th Edition of EFEA will be held in Sofia, Bulgariay, on March 24-26, 2021. The hosting institution will be the Technical University of Sofia, in close collaboration with Polytechnic University of Hauts-de-France (Fr), University of Northumbria (UK), and the University of Aberdeen (UK).

EFEA 2021 is the sixth event in the EFEA series, following EFEA 2010 in Ghardaia, EFEA 2012 in Newcastle, EFEA 2014 in Paris, EFEA 2016 in Belgrade, and EFEA 2018 in Rome.
