During the Summit held on 11–13 June 2021, the G7 nations have agreed to step up action on climate change and renewed a pledge to raise $100bn a year to help poor countries cut emissions. This will enable these countries to move towards a climate-neutral economy and implement the commitments under the Paris Agreement.
All Europeans agree the EU’s energy policy priorities should be to ensure secure, clean, and affordable energy, to reduce climate change, decreasing energy consumption across the EU and facilitating more competitive prices for consumers. In order to achieve this, for the coming 10 years the main priority is investing and developing clean energy technologies, at the lowest possible cost.

The European Union within its Green Deal decided to raise the 2030 greenhouse gas emission reduction target, including emissions and removals, to at least 55% compared to 1990.
After the crisis of COVID-19, the energy security will remain an important issue of the world energy policy and the key for a more resilient society. The pandemic has set in motion the largest drop in global energy investment in history, with spending expected to plunge in every major sector this year – from electricity to renewables and energy efficiency.
The overall share of global energy spending that goes to clean energy technologies – including renewables on shore and off shore and the low-carbon investments covering alternative energy and technologies increased by 9% in 2020, according to an analysis by Bloomberg New Energy Finance (BNEF). The trend is expected to continue and global institutional investors plan to increase their allocation to green energy, energy efficiency, carbon capture, utilization and storage and hydrogen in the next decade.

The AIEE Symposium will be a forum to discuss all these problems, continuing the dialogue of the past editions analyzing the transformations of the concept of energy security in this context.

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 SDA Bocconi School of Management (that was ranked 3rd in the  Financial Times’ European Business School Ranking and 8th in the world for business and management studies).

In this still uncertain times regarding travelling around the world, social distancing and possibility to attend the event physically, hosting a virtual event will remain an excellent alternative and therefore we decided to hold also this year the 6th AIEE Symposium on energy Security 2021, online.


Our conference will have the same structure as the previous edition because we want it to feel as much like an in-person event as possible, with plenary sessions and keynote presentations and several concurrent sessions which include traditional presentations, lightning talks, discussions, and interacting.
A series of live chats with the presenters will be programed after the sessions to stimulate real-time conversations and interractions among participants and we will encourage speakers to suggest topics to be debated.
Virtual conferences might lack the intimacy of a physical gathering, but they democratize access offering the attendees the possibility to connect with each other providing an interactive, collaborative networking, information-sharing and manly the same benefits as on-site events with less cost and less risk. The shift to online gatherings is part of a larger trend in reimagining experiences centered on human interaction at a time when large gatherings are yet not reccommended.

All the abstract submission rules and registration and participation details will be available in the  Call for abstracts.
