DESCRIPTION:We are proud to announce that the *2013 CUEN Annual Conference
 * on %{color:red}*Smart Cities and Smart Energy*% will be held on *Tuesday
  the 18th of June*\, at the Centre for Mathematical Sciences\, University 
 of Cambridge.\n\nIn a world of continuous urbanization\, cities are an ess
 ential part of a sustainable energy system and a sustainable future more g
 enerally. Local governments around the globe strive for a thriving economy
 \, high quality of life and a reduced environmental impact. But individual
  infrastructure systems are not sufficient to keep up with recent developm
 ents. Meeting the challenge of increasing populations and increasingly sca
 rce resources requires new\, diverse and smart solutions. In four sessions
 \, the conference will therefore address smart cities\, urban planning\, s
 mart materials and energy storage and smart grids. \n\nIn bringing togethe
 r professionals\, academics and students with a common interest in the des
 ign of a smart energy future\, this conference aims to inform\, inspire an
 d facilitate interaction between people whose diverse skills will play a f
 undamental role in this meaningful area. \n\nThe event is also intended fo
 r people with a general interest in energy\, opening up a discussion betwe
 en different points of view on the topics of smart cities and smart energy
