Dear EASAC members, friends and colleagues,#

In an increasingly volatile geopolitical landscape, Europe’s energy security is at a crossroads. The advancing energy transition is reshaping our energy system. Policy debates must address how energy and security domains are governed, how citizens can contribute to energy security, how developments in international relations influence the price and availability of energy, and how energy infrastructure within and across national borders can be protected.

Join us for the launch of our new report on "Security of Sustainable Energy Supplies", in which eminent scientists from all over Europe examine the various facets of energy security, discussing their findings with EU policymakers and the broader energy community.

Start: 12:00 CEST in-person and 12:30 CEST online
End: 15:00 CEST
