The International Association for Energy and Environmental Research attaches great importance to cooperation with other institutions in the global energy and environmental field, as such collaborations are crucial for pooling high-quality resources, sharing cutting-edge insights, and accelerating the translation of academic research into practical sustainable solutions. Our key cooperative institutions, along with their detailed introductions and official websites, are as follows:

1. IREC (Institut de Recerca en Energia de Catalunya)

Institution Introduction: As a leading research institution in the energy field, IREC focuses on advancing energy innovation and sustainable development. It has established institutional collaborations with national and international research institutes, universities, and large enterprises, dedicated to facilitating joint research and innovation projects, and promoting personnel exchange programs through international joint training networks. Its cooperation with the Association will further strengthen the linkage between global energy research resources and accelerate the transformation of energy technology achievements.

2. IEA (International Energy Agency)

Institution Introduction: The IEA is a core organization in the global energy field, committed to ensuring the security, affordability, and sustainability of global energy systems. It collaborates with a wide range of international organizations, forums, and economies (including G20, G7, OPEC, etc.), and hosts multiple multilateral organization secretariats (such as the Clean Energy Ministerial Secretariat) at its Paris headquarters. It also provides professional advice for important platforms like the UNFCCC Conference of Parties (COP) and co-founds energy data initiatives (e.g., JODI) to promote global energy data sharing. Its cooperation with the Association will enhance the global influence of energy and environmental research outcomes.

3. IRENA (International Renewable Energy Agency)

Institution Introduction: IRENA is a key international organization dedicated to promoting the widespread adoption and development of renewable energy. It has established partnerships with over 70 organizations covering regions worldwide, focusing on areas such as climate change adaptation, sustainable finance, and electrification. It has carried out in-depth cooperation with the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC), United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees (UNHCR), and European Bank for Reconstruction and Development (EBRD) to advance renewable energy deployment, capacity building, and capital mobilization. Its cooperation with the Association will focus on joint promotion of renewable energy technology research and regional energy transition.

4. Center for Energy and Environmental Policy Research (CEEPR), Beijing Institute of Technology

Institution Introduction: Founded in 2009, CEEPR originated from the resource and environmental complex system research team established by Professor Wei Yiming in the Chinese Academy of Sciences in the 1990s. It has three provincial and ministerial-level scientific research platforms (including Beijing Laboratory of Carbon Neutrality Systems Engineering) and undertakes over 200 national-level basic research projects (such as national key R&D programs) and more than 30 policy research tasks commissioned by national institutions (e.g., National Development and Reform Commission) and international organizations (e.g., World Bank). It ranks among the world's top 10 in the fields of energy economics and environmental economics (per RePEc data) and is the first Chinese university member of the Integrated Assessment Modeling Consortium (IAMC) and an observer institution of the UNFCCC. Its cooperation with the Association will strengthen academic exchanges and policy research collaboration in the field of energy and climate.

5. IKEM (Institut für Klimaschutz, Energie und Mobilität)

Institution Introduction: IKEM is a German research institution focusing on climate protection, energy transformation, and mobility innovation. It carries out extensive cooperative projects with institutions such as the Institut für Energie- und Umweltforschung, covering key areas including the development of comprehensive sustainability standards for hydrogen and hydrogen derivatives (NachH2 project), scientific support for the revision of the European transport sector's greenhouse gas reduction quota, and analysis and evaluation of transport transition measures (Shift-M project). Its cooperation with the Association will promote technical exchanges and project cooperation in the fields of low-carbon energy (e.g., hydrogen energy) and green mobility.

6. Ipieca

Institution Introduction: With a history of over 50 years, Ipieca is a core platform for promoting sustainability in the energy industry, focusing on climate action, environmental responsibility, and social performance. It convenes experts from member companies, the United Nations, NGOs, civil society, and academia to carry out in-depth cooperation. It maintains long-term collaborative relationships with the United Nations Environment Programme (UNEP), participating in initiatives such as the Climate and Clean Air Coalition (CCAC) and the Oil and Gas Methane Partnership (OGMP), and jointly developing biodiversity management guidelines with the UNEP World Conservation Monitoring Centre (UNEP-WCMC). Its cooperation with the Association will enhance the integration of industry practice and academic research in the field of energy environmental protection.
