AEF will host a convening from the 23rd to the 25th of November, 2026 in Nairobi, Kenya, bringing together energy researchers, policymakers, and donors to begin a collective dialogue on energy modelling and planning in Africa.

The three-day convening will include an in-person, academic conference, where African researchers from a range of disciplines, will present their latest research, showcasing the diversity and depth of ongoing work by the African energy research community.

Attendance at the conference is by invitation only, and interested individuals may apply to receive an invitation either as presenters or as ordinary conference delegates.

A detailed conference program will follow once presenters are selected.
