Annual Meeting

Overview

The Andlinger Center for Energy and the Environment and Princeton E-ffiliates Partnership Annual Meeting aims to catalyze the exchange of ideas and spark future collaborations by bringing together E-ffiliates corporate members and industry leaders, researchers, policy experts, Princeton University faculty, students, and postdocs for a full day of presentations on science, technology, and policy that are of critical importance to the energy and environmental sectors.

2026 Annual Meeting

Our annual meeting, will be held October 29 at Maeder Hall Auditorium.

Energy Security in an Era of Recurring Geopolitical Shocks

Recent geopolitical shocks are putting energy security in sharp focus from disruptions following the Russian invasion of Ukraine to renewed instability in the Gulf. At the same time, intensifying strategic competition between major powers, including the United States, China, and Europe, is reshaping trade, technology access, and supply chains for energy and critical materials. Together, these dynamics signal a deeper structural reality: energy systems are being transformed not only by decarbonization, but by recurring disruptions and growing fragmentation of the global economy and geopolitics.

Join leaders from academia, industry, finance, and policy for a full day of insight into the forces reshaping energy security. Attendees will come away with a sharper understanding of the geopolitical, technological, infrastructure, and regional shifts influencing the energy transition — and what those changes mean for innovation, investment, policy, and long-term strategy.

Strategies for Circularity: Prospects and Challenges

In a circular economy, systems and products are intentionally designed to minimize waste and keep resources in use for as long as possible — closing the loop on the traditional “take-make-dispose” linear economic model. The 14th Annual Meeting will explore opportunities and challenges for implementing circular approaches, with the goal of identifying key priorities for research, policy, and industry in the journey toward a more sustainable and resource-efficient future.
