This is the 10th Heat Powered Cycles Conference. The first was held at Nottingham in 1997. This time the event is being co-organized by the University of Edinburgh, (Edinburgh, Scotland), The University of Applied Sciences, Vorarlberg, (Austria), and Universidade Paulista - UNIP, (Brazil). The conference is hosted by the University of Edinburgh by Prof. Giulio Santori. In addition to formal presentations of technical papers, including invited Keynote papers, the event includes poster sessions and a Special Session on Joint Talk on Materials and Processes for Carbon Dioxide and Water. The Kenneth Denbigh Medal Lecture will also be presented during the conference. The conference is concerned with scientific and technological innovations relating to the efficient and economic use of heat, derived from all its sources, for the production of cooling, heating, and mechanical power either independently or co-generatively.
