The English language will be the official language of the conference. It will be used for both sessions and the communication text in the final proceeding. The instruction for the preparation of the paper will be given soon. The manuscripts will be evaluated by reviewers. An award and a price of 500€ for the best paper presented by a young researcher will be offered by an ED2E sponsor: EDF.
