From Dependency to Resilience: The Future of Energy Security

In light of geopolitical uncertainty, the ongoing energy transitions and growing need for a resilient infrastructure, the CSEI workshop “From Dependency to Resilience: The Future of Energy Security” provides a forum for exchange across sectors and disciplines.

The event will bring together policymakers, industry representatives and researchers to discuss how security of supply, decarbonisation objectives and infrastructure resilience can be addressed in an integrated manner. Participants will include representatives from, among others, the European Commission, NATO, the European Union Institute for Security Studies (EUISS) and the European Initiative for Energy Security (EIES).

Outline of the day:

The workshop will open with a keynote contribution by Robert Habeck who sets the scene and outlines the most important developments in the field of energy security and the energy transition. This will be followed by three thematic sessions focusing on geopolitical dependencies in energy supply, aligning security of supply with the energy transition, and the resilience of energy infrastructure. Each session will combine expert input with moderated discussion. In the afternoon, interactive breakout groups will allow participants to exchange perspectives in smaller settings, with rotating topics and group composition. The day will conclude with a plenary session summarising the main insights, which will inform a subsequent publication capturing the workshop’s key findings.
