CONFERENCE
The goal of the Conference is to bring together policy makers, technology developers, regulators and representatives of different industrial sectors with interest to SMR implementation for combined electricity and heat generation from all countries planning deployment of this technology.
EU and other international organizations and platforms for SMR development are invited to present papers and to participate in the discussions.
Open professional discussion on the actual development status and deployment of SMRs and their possible role for balancing the grids with prevailing share of renewable sources power generation. The gained experience in practical projects implementation in some countries will be shared. Area of prevailing interest is applications of SMR for cogeneration of electricity and heat, hydrogen and/or other products. Licensing status of some SMR prototypes will be presented and draft schedule of their market appearance to offer projects. Last but not the least is the  topic of SMR application for refurbishment of existing coal plants.

Topics/panels for discussions are:
