Development of technologies for energy system leads to dramatic changes in energy consumption. It has never been so important to examine the stability of the worldwide energy consumption. During recent years, existing energy technologies have been showing to be inadequate due to fundamental changes in worldwide social needs and paradigm. Many basic assumptions are no longer certain and are definitely questioned. Nowadays, researchers and practitioners from industry and academia are developing advanced technology and innovation in energy system in order to solve these problems. 

The ASTECHNOVA 2016 is to host communication and dissemination of proposed new approaches in dealing with technological development, as studying complexity and knowledge management. This event is the third international energy conference. In 2015 the conference was held successfully and attended by several participants and experts from Philippines, Nepal, South Africa, China, and USA.

Department of Nuclear Enginering and Engineering Physics, Universitas Gadjah Mada (DNEEP) is currently in the process of being a centre of excellent in energy engineering as part of the global institution. The most important aspects in the preparation for being a centre of excellent in energy engineering is the internationally scientific atmosphere in DNEEP. Department of Nuclear Enginering and Engineering Physics, Universitas Gadjah Mada should be joint to the international community in energy system with prominent researchers and practitioners from industry and academia in energy system. Therefore, it is crucial to an international conference to bring together researchers and practitioners from industry and academia for sharing their energy technological development.

In the conference, many well recognized researchers, practitioners and academia will share their experience and vision of the future technological development in energy engineering. Among others, there will be the scientific members, i.e. Prof. Sunil Chirayath (Texas A&M University, USA), Dr. Liem Peng Hong (NAIS Co., Inc, Japan), Prof. Agus Pulung Sasmito (McGill University, Canada), Prof. Christophe Demaziere (Chalmers University of Technology, Sweden), Hiroshige Kikura (Tokyo Institute of Technology), Prof. Sunarno, Dr. Gea O.F. Parikesit (Universitas Gadjah Mada, Indonesia), Dr. Totok Soehartanto (Institut Teknologi Sepuluh Nopember, Indonesia). DNEEP believes that conducting the ASTECHNOVA 2016 - International Energy Conference - is a strategic initiative to open more networks to the prominent energy engineering researchers and practitioners from industry and academia in the world whose opinions and suggestions will help DNEEP to excel as a centre of excellent in energy system.

Aims:

• To bring together researchers and practitioners from industry and academia to give an overview of the state of the art of technology development in energy engineering,

• To present recent achievement of advanced technology development in energy engineering,

• To exchange ideas and experiences in the field of technology development in energy engineering.
