Y1 2022-2023 EUCOS Policy Symposium

Energy Security in Europe: Current and Future

The 2023 EUCOS Policy Symposium – European Common Security

April 4, 2023

Thomson Hall, Room 317

9:00 am to 12:30 pm PDT

As the European Union as well as member states create swiftly changing policies affecting clean energy initiatives, their energy decisions show significant variability. Recent events emphasize both the need for and the challenges to establishing a unified approach to securing supply for EU states and for improving energy independence within the EU. As emerging technology revolutionizes energy markets, it has never been more important for European countries to synchronize their standards on protecting critical energy infrastructure, including electric grids, Smart Grids, gas pipeline sensors and wind and solar technologies. This symposium will showcase cutting-edge research on where the European Union is headed on energy security and what the U.S. and the EU can learn from each other.
