The Italian Association of Energy Economists - AIEE, affiliate of the International Association for Energy Economics - IAEE, is organizing the 9th AIEE Energy Symposium on Energy Security on November 20-22, 2025, in cooperation with the scientific contribution of the De-partment of Astronautical, Electrical and Energy Engineering of the University of Rome “La Sapienza”, as an in person event.
The AIEE Energy Symposium on Energy Security has become an important yearly appointment and an opportunity to discuss and ex-change information, an opened dialogue on energy security in the context of the ongoing ecological transition. Since its first edition the AIEE Energy Symposium has made possible to analyse the transformations taking place in the process of the energy transition, exploring its impli-cations, its strengths and weaknesses, highlighting the emerging innovations and trying to find new solutions and new technologies for this new world reality.
The 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 is-sues: 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. Atten-tion 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, invest-ment in adaptation, such as the development of climate-resilient infrastructures, food systems and supply chains,is crucial.
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 Rome "La Sapienza" one of the oldest universities in Europe, in the heart of Rome, near the Colosseum.
