Central and East European Energy Strategies: Creating a Sustainable Energy Future within the EU

INFOS EU and non-EU member-states from the Baltics to the Balkans are currently working towards establishing a fully integrated regional energy market. This will allow for greater security of supply through increased interdependency, improved infrastructure and enhanced competition, among other things. However, this can only be successful if undertaken within the context of the wider European/EU strategy on energy. Challenges to this process are varied and progress is slow, yet the requirement and desire for this region to achieve a sustainable energy future remains strong.  This workshop calls for papers examining the range of issues affecting the central and east European energy market and its current and future development within a wider EU context. These issues include, but are not limited to national and corporate energy strategies, EU regulation and liberalisation policy, development and financing of infrastructure projects, merger and acquisition, as well as geopolitical and economic relations with Russia and other third party states. Papers should be focused on institutions such as the EU or the European Energy Community and/or states from Central Europe, South-eastern Europe, the Baltic Region or Russia and other former Soviet Republics. Papers can also focus on any of the varied energy sectors operating in the region, e.g. nuclear, piped natural gas and LNG, oil, coal and other fossil fuels, renewables etc. CONTACT Assessing Accession Phone: +44 141 330 4094 Email: admin@assessingaccession.eu University of Glasgow Glasgow
