The Purpose of IAEE Affiliates
Affiliates help extend IAEE’s reach by providing a local community of peers within a country or region, recruiting and engaging members in their country or region. They connect international and the local communities of energy economists — translating global themes to regional relevance. Affiliates may coordinate with each other or with IAEE for joint events, cross-affiliate initiatives, or shared research efforts.

Affiliates often organize local or regional symposia, workshops, conferences, and speaker series, creating opportunities for members to connect closer to home.

Start a New Affiliate

- The responsibilities to IAEE Headquarters
- The affiliate should have an active student strategy, for instance through the nomination of a student representative on its council
