The International Student Energy Summit (SES) is a global forum that focuses on sustainable resource management and the role that students will play in defining the future of energy development. SES is Student Energy’s pinnacle event and targets international, multidisciplinary post secondary students in undergraduate and graduate studies interested in energy.

SES occurs every two years at academic institutions around the world. The internationally recognized event has hosted high profile energy leaders such as Richard Jones (Executive Director of the International Energy Agency) and Sri Mulyani (Managing Director and COO of the World Bank) among hundreds of other speakers. The Student Energy Summit 2015 brought together over 650 students from more than 100 countries.

SES2017 will gather 800 students from around the world in México. Collectively, these students hold the potential to transform the world as we know it today and transition our world towards a sustainable energy future. These are the students who create the energy technologies, the international treaties, the national policies, and the companies that will get us there. Once selected to attend SES2017, these students will have the incredible opportunity to spend four days being inspired to take action and make a difference. All of these students have the potential to change this world. Such is the true definition of the word “student”: an entity of potential.

In order to encourage the participation of Latin American students, the Regional Programme Energy Security and Climate Change in Latin America(EKLA) of the Konrad Adenauer Foundation (KAS) together with SES2017 organize the Energy EKLA competition, which will provide 30 full scholarships to participate during the 4 Days of the event in Merida-Mexico.
