contents We establish a precise formula relating the world-sheet integral of the AdS Virasoro-Shapiro amplitude to the energy-energy correlator (EEC) in $\mathcal{N}=4$ super Yang-Mills theory at strong coupling. This mapping allows us to evaluate the coefficients of the AdS curvature expansion of the EEC in terms of the world-sheet integral over a unit disk. To illustrate this idea, we explicitly compute the flat-space contribution and the first curvature correction to the EEC. Our results provide a rigorous description of the stringy energy flow, demonstrating how world-sheet correlators imprint themselves on collider observables and offering a potential template for effective string descriptions of energy correlators in general gauge theories.
