How does energy influences the post-socialist territory? Are there any other options?
With the temporary winter gas agreement between Russia and Ukraine and increasing possibilities that the conflict in the East will escalate again, the newly elected Ukrainian government has to address raising concerns about the energy independence.
This multidisciplinary workshop organised by Platform Ukraine will look at how energy influences the post-socialist territory and if there are any other options
The speakers will address questions of what are the ways of building more transparent and socially responsible pipeline systems? How has the Ukrainian crisis affected international and regional security? What are the technological advancements in research on the global environment? What are the opportunities of solar systems?
Speakers:
- Chair: Andrew Wilson: Reader in Ukrainian Studies, UCL SSEES
- Andrew Barry: Professor of Political Geography, UCL Geography
- Anthony Jude De Gol: Senior Research Associate, CSERGE
- Sarah Lain: Research Fellow, Royal United Services Institute
- Andrea Pochylová: industry expert in energy and materials, Terrapinn
