We cordially invite you to participate at the Fifth European Conference on Renewable Energy Systems (ECRES2017). The event is going to be organized in Sarajevo/Bosnia-Herzegovina on 27-30 August 2017 by the organizers Gazi University and University of Sarajevo. Besides, Piteşti University (Romania), Klaipeda University (Lithuania), University of Perugia (Italy), Isra University (Jordan), Illinois University (USA), Tebessa University (Algeria), Basque Country University (Spain) and Texas A&M University at Qatar (Qatar) take a part in the international organizing committee. Turkish Science-Research Foundation (TÜBAV) supports the event, academically.

The first, second third and fourth conferences were completed very successfully in Alanya/Antalya (2012), in Antalya (2013) , Kemer/Antalya (2015) and Istanbul (2016). Last event had 167 papers/abstracts from 23 different countries from all continents. The presented papers/abstracts were extended by the authors and they are now under review at Thompson SCI and SCOPUS indexed reputable journals. 

The purpose of the ECRES is to bring together researchers, engineers and natural scientists from all over the world, interested in the advances of all branches of renewable energy systems. Wind, solar, hydrogen, hydro-, geothermal, solar concentrating, fuel-cell energy systems and all energy-related topics are welcome. The ECRES aims to present and disseminate the cutting-edge results to the international community of energy in the form of research, development, applications, design and technology. It is thereby expected that it can assist researchers, scientists, manufacturers, companies, communities, agencies, associations and societies to keep abreast of new developments in their specialist fields and to find innovative solutions in their problems.

All accepted papers will be published in a special Conference Proceeding. The conference proceedings will be delivered online from www.ecres.net just after the conference. In addition, high amount of good papers, which are going to be presented in the Conference will be published in Science Citation Index (SCI-indexed), SCOPUS-indexed and EBSCO-indexed journals, after the peer-review. These journals are as follows:

- Journal of Electronic Materials-Special Issue (SCI-indexed, SCOPUS-indexed, EBSCO-index, Engineering Index)
- International Journal of Hydrogen Energy-Special Issue (SCI-indexed, SCOPUS-indexed, EBSCO-index, Engineering Index)
- International Journal of Sustainable Energy Planning and Management-Special Issue ( Scopus-indexed,  Ulrichsweb, DataCite)
- International Journal of Renewable Energy Technology-Special Issue (Google Scholar)
- Journal of Mechanical Engineering & Sciences-Special Issue (SCOPUS-indexed, EBSCO-index, Ulrichsweb, Google Scholar)
- Journal of Renewable Energy Development-Special Issue (EBSCO-index, Google-scholar)
- Metallurgical and Materials Transactions E-Special Issue (Astrophysics Data System, Google Scholar)
- Journal of Polytechnics (EBSCO-index, Google-scholar)

Please feel free to circulate this message among your colleagues. We would like to send our greetings to all of you and looking forward to seeing you in Sarajevo - lovely, touristic and historical city.
