Presentation

From the Organizing Committee we wish firstly like to thank all the participants of the 3 rdt
International Congress of Energy and Environment Engineering and Management –
IIICIIEM2009. This Congress is, in each edition, an opportunity to academics, scientifics,
consultants and companies of the energetic and environment sectors, to share days of
coexistence that allow the interchange of experiences in the different thematic areas of the
congress and, at the same time, create and fortify bonds of friendship between different work
groups. This Congress includes a total of six thematic areas, which cover a broad spectrum
within the applications related with energetics and environment engineering: energetic
installations, renewable energies, environment engineering, electromechanics, materials, and
finally, projects engineering.

The amplitude of the subjects treated and their interest showed, with rigor and precision, during
the days 25, 26 and 27 November 2009, the most significant state-of-the-art and most important
advances in the different thematic areas.

We would like to express our gratitude to the authors for the submitted works, to the public and
private organizations for helping to balance the finances, to the assessors and area coordinators
for their dedication and professionalism in the revisions, to the Advanced Materials Research
journal and Mr. Thomas Wohlbier for the opportunity given to us to publish this special issue, to
the members of the Organizing Committee for their work and availability, to the Technology and
Management Polytechnic School in Portalegre and to the Industrial Engineering High School in
Badajoz for their total support, as well as the Honour Committee for the confidence deposited in
this event, which we think will mean an incentive for the development of our regions.
