American Center for Life Cycle Assessment (ACLCA)

The American Center for Life Cycle Assessment (ACLCA) is a nonprofit membership organization providing education, awareness, advocacy and communications to build capacity and knowledge of environmental LCA. ACLCA membership consists of industry, academia, government, consulting, and NGOs. The organization holds annual conference and regular webinars regarding LCA topics.

Energy Systems Integration Group (ESIG)

The Energy Systems Integration Group (ESIG), previously known as the Utility Wind Integration Group (UWIG), was established in 1989 to provide a forum for the critical analysis of wind for utility applications. The organization aims to chart the future of energy systems integration and operations by providing information, education and networking to support total energy systems integration and operations. The organization helds regular workshops and webinars, and have five technical working groups for developing emerging topics.

Integrated Assessment Modeling Consortium (IAMC)

The Integrated Assessment Consortium (IAMC) is an organization of scientific research institutions that pursues scientific understanding of issues associated with integrated assessment modeling and analysis. The organization has four working groups to advance scientific development in IAM community, and serves as a central place for researchers to share data, models and codes. The community also holds annual meetings.

National Council for Science and the Environment (NCSE)

The National Council for Science and the Environment (NCSE) was founded in 1990 as the Committee for the National Institute for the Environment (CNIE). Its mission was "to improve the scientific basis of environmental decision-making by bringing about the establishment of the National Institute for the Environment (NIE) and supporting the successful implementation of its principles and programs." The National Institute for the Environment would support interdisciplinary research, scientific assessment, information dissemination, and education.

American Geophysical Union (AGU)

AGU is an international, nonprofit scientific association whose mission is to promote discovery in Earth and space science for the benefit of humanity. The organization’s community of 60,000 members is a robust and global network of scientists working across disciplines in Earth and space science. The largest meeting is the AGU Annual Fall Meeting.

IEEE Power & Energy Society

The Power & Energy Society (PES) provides the world's largest forum for sharing the latest in technological developments in the electric power industry, for developing standards that guide the development and construction of equipment and systems, and for educating members of the industry and the general public. The scope of the Society embraces research, development, planning, design, construction, maintenance, installation and operation of equipment, structures, materials and power systems for the safe, sustainable, economic and reliable conversion, generation, transmission, distribution, storage and usage of electric energy, including its measurement and control. The society holds regular conferences and webinars.

International Association for Energy Economics (IAEE)

The International Association for Energy Economics (IAEE) an independent, non-profit, global membership organization for business, government, academic and other professionals concerned with energy and related issues in the international community. The association publishes two peer-reviewed journals, shareds webinars and podcasts, and also holds conferences internationally.

Energy Modeling Forum (EMF)

The Energy Modeling Forum (EMF) was established at Stanford in 1976 to bring together leading experts and decisionmakers from government, industry, universities, and other research organizations to study important energy and environmental issues. For each study, the Forum organizes a working group to develop the study design, analyze and compare each model’s results and discuss key conclusions. The organization holds workshops and webinars to release and discuss project results.

Institute for Operations Research and the Management Sciences (INFORMS)

The INFORMS Section on Energy, Natural Resources, and the Environment (ENRE) serves as a focal point for networking for researchers and practitioners working on issues in energy, natural resources, and/or the environment. The Section sponsors and supports a wide range of activities related to its interest areas, ranging from publishing a newsletter, sponsoring focused sessions at the national INFORMS meeting, holding its own conferences and publishing their proceedings, as well as maintaining this website. The community holds regular webinars, and holds annual conference as part of annual INFORMS conference.

International Energy Workshop (IEW)

The International Energy Workshop (IEW) is one of the leading conferences for the international energy modeling research community. The IEW provides a venue for analysts to compare quantitative energy projections, to understand the reasons for diverging views of future energy developments, and to observe new trends in global energy production and consumption. The annual conference typically includes three plenary sessions and more than 100 presentations in parallel sessions.

Open Energy Modeling Initiative

The openmod initiative is a network, an interest group, and a platform. We exchange ideas and source code, lobby for policy support for open projects, and actively share data, code and knowhow.
