In this regard, the organizers of GPD China 2009,
Glaston and China Building Materials Academy (CBMA) are putting special attention on the role glass can play on energy management, especially from the solar side.
We are now calling for papers
Proposals or abstracts for both theoretical and practical presentations should be submitted online at www.gpd.fi.
Since GPD China 2009 takes place just a month before GPD Finland, speakers can present the same paper in both conferences!
