Sustainable Energy Transitions Initiative
Eleventh Annual Workshop of the Sustainable Energy Transitions Initiative (SETI)
Welcome to the 11th Annual SETI Collaborative Program Workshop!
In-person meeting: June 29, 2026.
Lisboa, Portugal. 12:00 PM-04:00 PM (local time). The exact location will be shared with registered participants soon.
Virtual meeting: Late July
Date TBD.
Deadline for Submissions: May 03, 2026.
We are pleased to invite you to take part in the 2026 SETI events, which will bring together researchers, policymakers, and other interested fellows from across the SETI network and the broader community working on energy access and sustainable energy transitions in low- and middle-income countries. This year, SETI will host two complementary events: a Half-Day Workshop before WCERE 2026, to be held in person on June 29, 2026, and a SETI Virtual Workshop, planned for late July 2026. Both events are intended to create a welcoming space for sharing ongoing research, exchanging ideas, and strengthening collaboration across our network.
We encourage submissions of full papers or extended abstracts (up to 1,000 words) on a broad range of topics related to sustainable energy transitions. While we welcome all relevant contributions, this year’s events place particular emphasis on emerging SETI priorities, including plastic waste burning as a fuel, energy poverty, cooking and heating transitions, off-grid and grid electricity systems, renewable energy impacts, the energy-gender nexus, air pollution and energy technologies, and inclusive and just energy transitions. Please use the buttons above to access the full call, along with registration and submission details.
With kind regards,
The Sustainable Energy Transitions Initiative
