ECOS Series of Conferences

ECOS is the name of a series of international conferences that focus on modern aspects of Thermal Sciences with particular emphasis on Thermodynamics and its applications in energy conversion systems and processes.

The idea for the ECOS series of conferences originated at the meeting of the Systems Analysis Technical Committee (SATC) of the Advanced Energy Systems Division of the American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME) during the 1985 ASME Winter Annual Meeting, in Florida. At the meeting it was decided to:

•   organize an annual Symposium on the Analysis and Design of Thermal Systems at each ASME WAM and
•   try to involve more scientists and engineers from outside the United States by organizing conferences in other countries, except the United States.

A Symposium of 8-15 sessions has been organized by the SATC every year since 1985 at the ASME Winter Annual Meeting and its successor, the International Mechanical Engineering Congress and Exposition. The first overseas conference took place in Rome, in 1987, with the support of the U.S. National Science Foundation. Further, the Conference has been organized in many other places all around the world.

The 39^th edition of the ECOS Conference shall be organized for the first time in Romania, by the Ovidius University of Constanta between June 28^th and July 3^rd 2026.
