Proceedings of the Contractors' Meetings held in Brussels, October
12-13, 1982
The International Conference "Solar Energy for Development" was
held from the 26th to the 29th of March 1979 in Varese, Italy. The
Conference was organised by the Commission of the European
Communities to assess the potential of solar energy for meeting the
needs in the developing countries, particularly in their rural
areas. The objectives of the Conference were threefold: - To review
those solar energy technologies which are appropriate for large
scale utilisation in the short and medium term; - To appraise
problems which may be alleviated by a better use of conventional
solar energy and the introduction of appropriate new solar
technologies; - To recommend ways and means of extending the use of
solar energy, taking into account technical and non-technical
criteria. Before the Conference, in September and October 1978,
five regional solar energy seminars were held in Nairobi (East
Africa), Bamako (West Africa), Amman (Arab countries), Caracas
(Latin America) and New Delhi (South and South-East Asia). With the
help of the experts at these seminars a general working document
was established and made available to the participants of the
Conference. 280 experts from 80 countries all over the world were
invited by the Commission to attend the Conference. The United
Nations and 11 other regional and international organisa tions were
represented. The Conference was opened by Dr. Guido Brunner, Member
of the Commission responsible for Energy, Research, Science and
Education, in the presence of Dr."
