Under the patronage of His Excellency Sheikh Nahayan Mabarak Al Nahayan, UAE Minister of Tolerance and Coexistence, and with the support of the Abu Dhabi Department of Education and Knowledge (ADEK), ADIPEC 2026 will host the 14th edition of Young ADIPEC.

The programme epitomises ADIPEC’s drive to foster an inclusive, collaborative environment, with the representation of all communities, to ensure that the path to a sustainable energy future is shaped by a truly global community, and diverse voices can unite around a shared mission to deliver a fair and balanced energy transition.

The programme extends its impact by serving as a learning platform that actively engages high school and university students within the framework of Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics (STEM) education.
