Oxford Institute for Energy Studies:

The Oxford Institute for Energy Studies was founded in 1982

as an autonomous centre for advanced research

into the social science areas of energy issues.

The Institute is committed to the idea of dialogue – between consumers and producers, government and industry and academics and decision makers. This is reflected in the membership of the Institute and in the composition of its research team, which is drawn from different national, academic and professional backgrounds. Our aim is that co-operation between researchers from these varied backgrounds, will lead to a more informed and balanced understanding of the behaviour, motivations and objectives of the various economic forces, agents and policy makers that operate in or influence the performance of international energy markets.

Research carried out at the Institute is designed to encompass the following:

• the economics of petroleum, gas, coal, nuclear power, solar and renewable energy;

• the politics and sociology of energy;

• the international relations of oil-producing and oil-consuming nations;

• the economic development of oil-producing countries and the energy problems of other developing countries; and

• the economics and politics of the environment in its relationship with energy.

As a general policy, the Institute concentrates on research in energy issues of international significance or issues which have implications for the interface of producers and consumers.

The Institute is registered as a company limited by guarantee (without share capital). It is also a registered charity (No. 286084) that operates as a non-profit educational organisation. It is conceived as an association of various Members, who may be divided into two groups. On the one hand are the University of Oxford and three of its colleges; on the other hand is a selection of governments, public institutions, international and regional organisations from oil-producing and oil-consuming countries. With the exception of the University and its colleges, each Member has made a financial contribution to the endowment that provides for the long-term security of the Institute.
