On behalf of the IEA Solar Heating and Cooling (SHC) Programme and Solar Heat Europe (ESTIF), we would like to invite you to the 11th Joint Meeting of the SHC Programme and Solar Thermal Trade Associations.

To continue the discussions of the 10th meeting of the SHC Programme and Solar Trade Associations at SHC 2015 in Istanbul, this year’s meeting will focus on market trends and ways to collaborate to support market development. The goal of this meeting is to discuss ideas, expectations and experiences with regard to solar thermal markets worldwide, while looking into common points that
may benefit from global cooperation in our sector.

Once again, we will hold the meeting in conjunction with our International Conference on Solar Heating and Cooling for Buildings and Industry (SHC 2017). What will make this meeting different is
that SHC 2017 will be a joint conference with the International Solar Energy Society’s Solar World Congress (SWC 2017). With this larger gathering of the solar community, we are looking forward to
having a diverse group of solar industry representatives at the meeting.

We hope that you will join us in Abu Dhabi. Please see the attached preliminary agenda for more information. Although you do not need to attend the SHC 2017 / SWC 2017 conference to participate
in this meeting, we hope that you will. Early bird registration closes August 31st. 

Please RSVP to Pamela Murphy (the SHC Secretariat), secretariat@iea-shc.org by September 15th if you can join us in Abu Dhabi.
