We are pleased to announce the Call for Papers for the
8th AIEE Energy Symposium on Current and Future Challenges to Energy Security,
organized with the scientific cooperation of the Centre “Giorgio Levi Cases” – University of Padua
Padua, 28-30 November 2024
Our Symposium has become an important yearly appointment and this 8th AIEE Energy Symposium on Energy Security is organized in cooperation with the University of Padua, in its traditional format as an in person event, on November 28-30, 2024.
Events in the last few years have demonstrated that the energy transition depends on energy security to proceed at a steady pace and at scale. Climate policy is a priority around the world but current experience also demonstrates that energy security is also a priority. And that requires continuing investment to assure reliable and affordable energy.
Although muted during the COVID-19 pandemic, its salience has reemerged with a new urgency. During the pandemic owing to the partial shutdown of economies, consumption plummeted and energy prices collapsed. Today, energy security encompasses both conventional oil and gas and renewables as well as electric grid reliability, assuring needed supplies.
Then came the Russian invasion in February 2022, setting off a global energy shock and a far-reaching disruption of the global supply system. Energy security suddenly returned as an urgent priority for governments worldwide who scrambled to secure and encourage more supplies to keep their economies running and avoid heaping pain on consumers. While climate was the main focus of the COP28 conference in 2023 the importance of “ensuring energy security” was also part of the final Consensus document. Energy security is a fundamental imperative for countries as energy undergirds economies and is essential for the well-being of populations.
The AIEE Energy Symposium on Energy Security has become an important forum to continuing the dialogue of the past editions analyzing the transformations of the concept of energy security in the new geopolitical context, exploring new and existing trends, creative solutions of new technologies, the emergence of new market conditions and of new market operators.
A comprehensive program, with Plenary sessions and keynote presentations, and several concurrent sessions will give the attendees from all over the world the occasion to participate in an interactive, collaborative networking and information-sharing event, in the prestigious context of the University of Padua one of the oldest universities in Europe and in the world, established in 1222, and only 30 km far from Venice.
An appointment we do not want to miss!
