It is my pleasure to invite you to attend the 17th International Conference on Emerging Nuclear Energy Systems (ICENES2015), which will take place in May 10-14, 2015 inclusive, in Antalya, Türkiye. This conference will consist of an informative and comprehensive scientific program, featuring oral and poster presentations and a commercial exhibition. This will provide a unique opportunity to become familiar with the most recent advancements in innovative nuclear energy systems, as well as looking at “bold” and “unthinkable” ideas on a sound scientific-technical basis. The forum will also be open to intellectual debate leading to practical applications around innovative non-nuclear technologies, such as hydrogen energy, solar energy, deep space exploration and others. Earlier conferences were held in Graz (Austria), Lausanne (Switzerland), Helsinki (Finland), Madrid (Spain), Karlsruhe (Germany), Monterey (USA), Chiba (Japan), Obninsk (Russia), Tel-Aviv (Israel), Petten (The Netherlands), Albuquerque (USA), Brussels (Belgium) and İstanbul (Türkiye), Ericeira (Portugal), San Francisco (U. S. A.) , Madrid (Spain). It has been the tradition of the ICENES conference series to select conference venues with unique features. For 2015, one of the most beautiful and most attractive touristical regions of Türkiye will host ICENES 2015, where see and mountains embrace each other.
