We are the International Energy Foundation - the IEF. We are a non-profit
group of scientists, researchers, engineers and others from around the world
working together. Our mission is to facilitate the transfer of research
and technology in all areas of energy with special emphasis on developing
countries. We are interested in better ways to produce, transmit and conserve
energy with respect to the technical, economic and human dimensional elements
including global climate change and sustainable development.
We have an international board of directors and advisors, bringing a
global perspective to our operations.
Current projects include the official international energy forum ENERGEX'2004
in Portugal with future locations being Stavanger, Norway (2006), Melbourne,
Australia (2008), Bangkok, Thailand (2010), Graz, Austria (2012) and Singapore
(2014). Other projects include conferences, workshops, seminars and symposiums
such the Energy and Environmental Conference in China (EnerEnv2003) in 2003,
the Regional WEC Conference in Singapore in 2003 and the Asia Pacific Renewable
Energy Conference (APREC) in Japan in 2005. We have also worked with
others in Russia, Ukraine, United Arab Emirates, Argentina and Egypt in
assisting in a variety of ways
We have set up 16 Regional Headquarters to
provide a focal point for international information networks so that people
from around the world can access the latest research data.
Other energy organizations are devoted to specific forms of energy, or
they are associated with particular industries, government and other interests.
We deal with energy in the broadest sense - with all forms of energy.
We go beyond national boundaries and we are reaching the people in 165 countries
who are working with energy directly in their own research labs and offices.
If you are interested in learning more about energy and, if you would like
to share what you have already learned with the rest of the world, join
us. There is no membership fee.
