Remembering Dr. Dorothea El Mallakh – A Visionary Leader, Dedicated Scholar, and Co-Founder of ICEED Whose Legacy Will Continue to Inspire Future Generations
The International Research Center for Energy and Economic Development (ICEED) mourns the passing of its co-founder and longtime Executive Director, Dorothea El Mallakh, Ph.D. Together with her husband, Ragaei El Mallakh, Dorothea co-founded ICEED in 1973 and devoted more than five decades to advancing scholarship, fostering international dialogue, and building bridges among researchers, policymakers, and industry leaders around the world. As Executive Director of ICEED and Managing Editor of The Journal of Energy and Development, she helped shape generations of energy and development scholarship while mentoring countless students and young professionals. Dorothea’s intellect, vision, generosity, and unwavering commitment to education and international understanding leave an enduring legacy that will continue to inspire the work of ICEED for years to come. We extend our deepest condolences to her family, friends, colleagues, former students, and all those whose lives she touched.

The International Research Center for Energy and Economic Development (ICEED) is a non-profit organization that provides relevant information and research on national and international energy issues. ICEED, founded in 1974, continues its mission of disseminating global views of energy usage, sustainability, economic growth, and development through four avenues:
THE JOURNAL OF ENERGY AND DEVELOPMENT
ICEED has published The Journal of Energy and Development since 1975. This biannual periodical covers international energy and development issues offering perspectives from authors around the world. Articles focus on energy-related topics, conservation, the environment, hydrocarbon development and management, alternative energy, sustainable economic development, macroeconomic trends, and policies of energy-producing and consuming countries. Past volumes and articles are now available for purchase at JSTOR. Volume 51, joint issues 1 and 2 will be available to subscribers in November 2026.
ICEED’S ENERGY CONFERENCES
These conferences are among the most well-established of their type. Representatives from 40-plus countries have joined in these informal exchanges of information among government officials, business leaders, and academia to discuss current trends in energy markets.
Since 1974 the ICEED has been organizing conferences unique in the mix of attendees and participants: high-ranking representatives and specialists in industry, finance, and national/multinational governmental agencies. The sessions are noted for their valuable contacts as well as the formal and informal exchange of views and data. Attendance at these conferences is by invitation and reservation only; attendees are sent by their respective agencies, companies, or institutions.
ICEED’S OCCASIONAL PAPERS & BOOKS
ICEED’s occasional papers series provides timely works by leaders in the fields of energy and the environment. Topics include the development of alternative energy, geopolitics, energy supply security, and environmental trends.
PRIVATE STUDIES AND RESEARCH
ICEED undertakes specific research studies on a variety of energy-related topics. We have provided briefings to clients on U.S. energy policy and regulation, oil and gasoline price forecasts, shale and non-conventional energy development, among other topics.
