The International Solar Energy Society
In 1955 the First World Symposium on Solar Energy was held in Phoenix, Arizona, where engineers and scientists from around the world assembled to review the then state of the art. At this meeting it became clear that an international body was needed to organize regular technical discussions, publish reports and generally promote solar energy utilization. This resulted in the formation of the Association for Applied Solar Energy, which subsequently became the International Solar Energy Society, with its headquarters in Phoenix. In 1970 the ISES head office was moved to Melbourne, Australia, where it now services national societies and sections in 26 countries.Since it was formed many Australians have been involved in its activities by contributing papers to its Journal of Solar Energy, and serving as members of its Board of Directors. Three of its fifteen Presidents were Australians, R. N. Morse 1969/71, W. W. Charters 1979/81, W. R. Read 1983/85. F. G. Hogg was Secretary/Treasurer from 1970 until his death in 1985 and was succeeded by W. R. Read.
