Description: 
We are the International Energy Foundation - the IEF. We are a non-profit group of scientists, researchers, 
engineers and others from around the world working together. Our mission is to facilitate 
the transfer of research and technology in all areas of energy with special emphasis on developing countries. 
We are interested in better ways to produce, transmit and conserve energy with respect to 
the technical, economic and human dimensional elements including global climate change and sustainable 
development. 
We have an international board of directors and advisors, bringing a global perspective to our operations. 
Current projects include the global energy congress ENERGEX in Sydney, Australia. Details will be available 
later this year. Future location is Vancouver, Canada in 2011. Other projects include the 
development of an energy security conference in Japan. Over the past number of years the Foundation 
has also worked with other energy researchers from Egypt, China, Croatia, Russia, and the 
United Arab Emirates. 
We have set up several Regional Headquarters to provide a focal point for international information 
networks so that people from around the world can access the latest research data. 
Other energy organizations are devoted to specific forms of energy, or they are associated with particular 
industries, government and other interests. 
We deal with energy in the broadest sense - with all forms of energy. We go beyond national boundaries 
and we are reaching the people in 175 countries who are working with energy directly in their 
own research labs and offices. If you are interested in learning more about energy and, if you would 
like to share what you have already learned with the rest of the world, join us. There is no 
membership fee.
