About the conference

The eighth edition of renewable energy research in Bangladesh

The world is at a defining moment in its transition toward a sustainable, secure and low-carbon energy future. Global commitments — the Kyoto Protocol, the Paris Agreement and successive United Nations Climate Change Conferences (COPs) — have established an urgent imperative to accelerate the shift from fossil-fuel-dependent energy systems toward clean, resilient and sustainable alternatives.

Renewable energy is at the heart of this global transformation. Achieving a truly sustainable energy transition, however, demands more than technological advancement alone — it calls for innovative approaches to system integration, policy development, financing, market design and inclusive business models.

Against this global backdrop, the Department of Electrical and Electronic Engineering at United International University organizes the eighth International Conference on the Developments in Renewable Energy Technology (ICDRET 2027) in Dhaka, Bangladesh. Building on ICDRET's legacy, the conference brings together researchers, academicians, engineers, policymakers, industry leaders, entrepreneurs and innovators to share knowledge, present research and advance the global renewable energy transition — connecting ideas with implementation, researchers with industry, and innovation with societal impact.

Through ICDRET 2027, we will make our steps towards the frontier of sustainable and resilient growth within the broad spectrum of renewable energy, with focus on acceleration and timely implementation. These footsteps will inspire future generations of young researchers and scientists to expand the horizon, paving the way toward a peaceful, clean, and sustainable home we call Earth.
