THE 1ST‘THE BELT AND ROAD INITIATIVE’ INTERNATIONAL CONFERENCE ON SUSTAINABLE REFRIGERATION AND AIR CONDITIONING THE 2ND ANNOUNCEMENT
editer：2016/4/12 15:24:14
Background and Theme
The “The Belt and Road Initiative” is a development strategy started by the Chinese government in 2013. It refers to the New Silk Road Economic Belt, which will link China with Europe through Central and Western Asia, and the 21st Century Maritime Silk Road, which will connect China with Southeast Asian countries, Africa and Europe. Neither the belt nor the road follows any clear line geographically speaking; they serve more as a road map for how China wants to further integrate itself into the world economy and strengthen its influence in these regions.
“The Belt and Road Initiative” also brings new opportunities and challenges to the industry of Refrigeration and Air Conditioning, especially to evaporative cooling technology. To this end, the 1st ‘The Belt and Road Initiative’ International Conference on Sustainable Refrigeration and Air Conditioning is to be launched.
This scientific meeting aims to meet the new challenges and opportunities brought to refrigeration and air conditioning industry by ‘The Belt and Road Initiative’, and we hope the conference will bring exclusive opportunities for all the participants. The policy-makers, the designers, researchers, engineers and managers from China and the countries along the Belt and Road Initiative will be invited to exchange their valuable works and experience in sustainable refrigeration and air conditioning technologies.
You are cordially welcome to ‘TBRI’ICSHVAC and enjoy yourself in Xi’an, the starting point of original ‘silk road’, an old and charming city.
The Conference will be held in Xi’an, China, 19-21 October, 2016.
All papers submitted to the conference will be reviewed by experts and the excellent papers will be selected and awarded with certification and rewards during the conference.
Conference Venue
Xi’an, the museum city in northwest China, has been a bright pearl along the Silk Road for 2000 years. Emperors of thirteen dynasties chose here as their political, cultural and economic center. As dynasty after dynasty added their own mark to Xi'an, the relics of old palaces, temples and tombs abounded throughout the city and surrounding countryside. The Terra Cotta Warriors are just a part of the complex tomb of Empire Qin Shihuang. There are also famous tourist sights, like the Bell Tower, Drum Tower, City Wall and The Big Goose Pagoda.
The Conference will be held in Xi’an Jinhua Hotel (address: No. 8 Changle West Road, Xincheng District, Xi’an, China. Tel: (+86) 29-83232981).
