It is my great pleasure to invite you to the 7^th Asia-Pacific Forum on Renewable Energy (AFORE2017) which will be held from November 15th through 18th, 2017 in Busan, Korea.

AFORE has been established to be the regional conference since 2011. The establishment of AFORE is to facilitate the trans-national and regional sharing of knowledge and understading from research activiters being undertaken in the renewable energy systems, their interantions with the environment and the identification of barriers to be addressed in order to establisth renewable energy industry.

From the past successful AFORE conferences, now it is recognized as the regional presenting forum for renewable energy areas providing opportunities for recent information sharing, interaction between researchers and industries, networking building and research/technical collaboration.

To meet the need and desire of clean environmental in our life, renewable energy development is not an option anymore but become "a must do task". And we are responsible to try and work hard to improve the environment and also achieve our goal. Also strongly believe that this need and desire will bring new industries and boost the regional economy as well. In this regards, AFORE2017 will provide you with recent technologies and knowledge and information in renewable energies.

We hope to see you in AFORE2017 and expect your contribution to make this conference another success.
