We are pleased to announce the
Call for Papers for the 6th AIEE Energy Symposium on Current and Future Challenges to Energy Security,
Virtual conference – 14-16 December 2021
Call for Abstracts
The submission is stil open you can submit your abstracts
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.

Concurrent sessions will be organized from accepted abstracts. Authors may be encouraged by the Programme Committee to organize specific sessions. Submitted abstracts should be of one or two pages in length, comprising (1) overview, (2) methods, (3) results and (4) conclusions.
The result of the submissions sent within September 10, 2021 will be notified by September 25, 2021. The result of the submissions sent within October 18, 2021 will be notified by November 1, 2021. Submissions sent after this date will be still accepted, evaluated and will be inserted in the program in the sessions where is still space.
While multiple submissions by individual or groups of authors are welcome, the abstract selection process will seek to ensure as broad participation as possible: each speaker is to deliver only one presentation in the conference.
The range of topics proposed for submission is not limited, the authors may be encouraged by the Programme Committee to organize also specific sessions on topics different from the ones indicated below, for which you are cordially invited to send us your proposals.
To organize a special session, the number of the speakers should be at least 4 and no more than 5.
The abstracts proposed for the special session should be submitted, following the general submission rules.
Hydrogen for the energy transition
Electric mobility for a sustainable future
Local energy communities, big data and energy security
Energy security: impact of COVID19
New electricity market design
The submission of the full paper is not obligatory unless the author is interested to propose it for publication.
