Organized by
It is a great pleasure to invite you to attend the 3rd International Conference on INVENTIONS (ICI). ICI series conferences are cooperated with journals Applied Sciences and Inventions of MDPI. MDPI is a partner organization and the journals Inventions and Applied Sciences are platinum sponsors.
The aims and scope of 2017 the 3rd International Conference on Inventions is to make researchers focus on patent based researches. An invention is a solution to a specific technological problem and is an improvement upon a machine or product, or a new process for creating an object or a result, which also could achieve a completely unique function or a radical breakthrough. However there is a very thin line between brilliant innovation and absolute failure, as some of these inventors famously found out or even face with the problems of insufficient funds. Therefore patent based researches are a form that offering a way to apprehend the ideas and advance on the projects immediately, rapidly by the successful, practical results of predecessors. We expect the conference to be a platform for successful patent inventors to share their experiences in inventing with all participants. At the same time, the conference also aims to gather and show high quality papers concerning the discovery of completely unique functions or results while even go further to advance the frontiers of science and extends the standards of excellence established by Inventions to readers. With many discussions based in patent, no matter the conference or Inventions would inspire more in all levels.

This year, ICI2017 is collocated with the 4th Micro & Nanoscale Heat Transfer and Energy Workshop (MNHTE2017).
The workshop is organized by the Heat and Mass Transfer Society of Taiwan with Chung Yuan Christian University, and the other Universities in Taiwan, following up a series of workshops that have been held every year since the first workshop held in National Cheng Kung University, Tainan, Taiwan in 2014.
The aims of the workshop are collecting, exchanging, and promoting knowledge in this interdisciplinary emerging field. Advances in research projects and development in relative technology will also be covered.
We will include keynote and invited presentations, oral and poster presentations, as well as panel discussions on current trends in micro/nanoscale heat and transfer and its future opportunities in renewable energy.
We are lookimg forward to your participation in the conference to make it a great success!
