Taking in due considerations the opinions expressed by the attendance of the 10^th ESPC, this 11^th edition is expected to meet better than ever the expectations of its participants. By its location, first: Greece was among the three preferred places and CERTH and FORTH expressed a strong will to co-organize the event, so the choice was almost natural. By its date: this edition takes place only two and a half year after the previous one, a first step towards a two years periodicity. By its papers and presentations: their quality was very appreciated, so we again require an extensive digest of the submitted papers, to base the selection on solid ground. By its exhibition: the same hall will host the booths, the stands for the poster session and all coffee breaks, a guarantee that what exhibitors (and authors) display will get the highest visibility. By its seminars: we have selected subjects of high and generic interest, introduced by top level presenters. By the place offered to the Academy: mutual awareness of what is done there and in Industry is, in our view, too low and we want to offer to both an opportunity to bridge this gap. And, last but not least, by the choice of speakers at the Opening Session, who will provide the audience with their first-hand experience in domains like power for electrical cars or nuclear sources worldwide developments.

Indeed the ESPC is the forum of choice for whoever is interested in all aspects of electrical power for space applications or who is involved in cutting edge research on these topics for terrestrial applications which, in many case, have little to envy to space ones.
