Conference objectives

Our Symposium has become an important yearly appointment and this 9th AIEE Energy Symposium on Energy Security is organized in cooperation with the scientific contribution of the Department of Astronautical, Electrical and Energy Engineering at the Sapienza University of Rome , as an in person event, on November 20-22, 2025.

This 2025 edition has a special significance: ten years have passed since the ratification of the Paris Agreement, a historic agreement that has profoundly changed the policies of various countries. Climate change is now a reality which our governments must face in their economic, environmental and social development prospects, to avoid putting at risk the future generations.
Ten years after this historic event, the trajectory of the transition is still to be explored, because the transition depends on a wide range of issues: protection of the population both as consumers and citizens, taking into account their health with respect to emissions, pollutants and economic wellness, as well as the identification of actions that each government can put in place for adaptation to climate change. Attention must be paid to energy security to ensure the availability of energy at affordable prices for the citizens and also to ensure a fair market competitiveness. Great attention must also be paid to the climate policy, as mitigation actions are not enough to fight climate change, investment in adaptation, such as the development of climate-resilient infrastructures, food systems and supply chains,is crucial.

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.

The venue of the event is the prestigious University of Rome “La Sapienza”, the Department of Astronautical, Electrical and Energy Engineering, situated in the heart of Rome, near the San Pietro in Vincoli church, at 300 m from the Colosseum (in Via Eudossiana, 18)

An appointment we do not want to miss!
