Built by researchers, for researchers.
WSSET is a global non-profit research society connecting people working in sustainable energy, environment and engineering. Through our Special Interest Groups, annual SET Conference and network of affiliated journals, we give researchers the platform to collaborate, present and publish their work.
Behind the organisation is a distinguished body of Fellows and Regional Representatives connecting WSSET to research communities across the world.
Our membership is open to anyone committed to advancing research in these fields.
Our values.
Collaboration
Research is stronger when it crosses borders, disciplines and institutions. Our Special Interest Groups exist precisely for this reason - bringing together researchers who share a focus area to work on joint projects, publications and discussions. We believe the most important breakthroughs happen when people work together.
Openness
Knowledge locked behind paywalls serves no one. We are committed to open-access research and work with our affiliated journals and publishing partners to make it as easy and affordable as possible for researchers to share their findings with the world. Good research deserves to be read.
Impact
We focus on fields that matter. Sustainable energy, environmental science and engineering are not abstract disciplines - they are the foundation of a better future. We align our work with the UN Sustainable Development Goals and support research that has real consequences for the world we live in.
Community
WSSET is not a product or a service. It is a society - built by its members and run for their benefit. Every decision we make is guided by what serves our research community best. Our Fellows, Representatives and members across 82+ countries are not just users of WSSET. They are WSSET.
Aligned with the UN Sustainable Development Goals.
WSSET's work is directly connected to three of the UN's Sustainable Development Goals. The research our members produce, the conferences we host and the journals we support all contribute to progress in these areas.
