The International Energy Colloquium 2026 (InEC 2026) is the inaugural event of its kind at the Faculty of Chemical Engineering and Energy Engineering (FKT), Universiti Teknologi Malaysia (UTM). Jointly organised by the Energy Management Group (EMG) and the Advanced Nuclear Engineering Research Group (ANERGY) , the colloquium will take place on April 7, 2026, at N24, UTM. It is designed as a hybrid event, accommodating both physical and virtual participation from students.

The colloquium operates on the format of an international academic conference, but on a smaller, more focused scale. It is dedicated to fostering interdisciplinary cooperation in the energy sector, with a critical focus on material development, system integration, and real-world applications. Our central theme is “Future Energy, Built Today,” underscoring the role of today’s students—our future engineers—in designing and innovating the next generation of energy systems.

InEC 2026 is specifically targeted at undergraduate and postgraduate students from both local and international institutions. Participants will gain direct exposure to the evolution of academic work, from research to publication and industrial application. The program features student presentations, plenary sessions, and an international forum, providing a valuable platform to strengthen career networking through interaction with industry players. Furthermore, all accepted articles will be published in Scopus-indexed conference proceedings.
