The workshop welcomes unpublished working papers focused on the analysis and evaluation of energy policies, with an aim to foster understanding and discussion on effective approaches to decarbonizing energy systems and advancing broader sustainability objectives. We particularly encourage submissions that focus on Ontario, though we also welcome papers examining energy policy applications in other jurisdictions. We are open to diverse perspectives and methods, including but not limited to empirical research, theoretical development, energy systems modeling, law, policy, economics, sociology, planning, and experimental methods. Past workshops have featured papers from disciplines including political science, economics, management, law, geography, environmental studies, and engineering. Papers that bridge multiple disciplines are especially encouraged.

New for ONSEP 2025:

This year, the ONSEP organizing committee is considering the inclusion of an inaugural poster session. Presenters may choose to share their work as either a poster presentation or an oral presentation. Please indicate in your submission whether you would prefer to present your work as a poster or an oral presentation; accepted submissions will be assigned to one format based on reviewer recommendations and program fit.

Interested individuals are invited to submit a title and 500-word abstract by January 13, 2025. Abstracts should elaborate on the key contributions of the work, its stage (e.g., work in progress), specify whether it is conceptual or empirical, and outline the research approach. Additionally, please provide your position, affiliation, and identify the presenter if accepted. Abstracts will be evaluated on quality and relevance to sustainable energy policy. Applicants will be notified of acceptance by early February 2025. Successful applicants will have until mid April 2025 (exact date to follow) to register. Failure to register by this deadline may result in forfeiting their slot, which could be offered to another applicant.

While full papers are not required for the workshop, presenters are expected to prepare a presentation with slides and/or a handout.

The workshop will be held at the Donald Gordon Conference Centre in Kingston, Ontario. Discounted registration fees are available for full-time students.

Please submit abstracts via email to ONSEPContact@gmail.com with the subject heading “ONSEP 2025 abstract presentation” “ONSEP 2025 abstract poster”.

We look forward to seeing you in person in May 2025!

The ONSEP Executive Stephen Hill, Warren Mabee, Alexandra Mallett, Rit Nanda, Daniel Rosenbloom, Ian Rowlands, Balie Walker, and Mark Winfield
