This symposium is an invited session of the potential users of thermoelectric power devices. It is well known that the recovery of exhausted heat and conversion it to electricity is necessary to resolve the energy and environmental problems. Thermoelectric energy conversion can provide electric power directly from heat and be applied to low temperature heat (less than 373K) of which recovery is difficult. The objective of this symposium is to specify the practical needs from potential users for thermoelectric power devices to define a direction of thermoelectric researches.
