Securing Energy in Insecure Times
29th IAEE International Conference
7–10 June 2006 in Potsdam / Germany


The 3-day conference with 420 delegates was hosted by the Gesellschaft für Energiewissenschaft und Energiepolitik (GEE) e.V. and chaired by Professor Dr. Georg Erdmann, Berlin University of Technology. The program committee chair was Professor Dr. Ulf Hansen from the University of Rostock.

The 250 papers presented in the concurrent sessions have been published in a "Book of Executive Summaries". Each papers is included in form of a two page summary covering the approach, the main findings and the conclusions.  This publication is particularly designed for all those energy experts and practitioners that would like to follow the present trends in energy economics research without having to read all the technical details of the papers. The book (512 pages, ISSN 1559-792X) comes with a CD-ROM that includes the extended abstracts as well as the submitted full length papers and a password that gives access to the presentations of the plenary speeches.
