The KIFEE symposium provides a forum for scientists and engineers to discuss and exchange recent advances in the fields of environment, energy and materials, as well as education in these areas.

The KIFEE Symposium is an important strategic event for NTNU, and we would like to have many participants in the plenary strategic sessions and also in the workshops. In the previous symposia there were around 40 participants from the visiting country and around 100 participants from the host country.
