Energy security and disputes in Central Eastern Europe. What’s next?
The war in Ukraine will have far-reaching consequences for energy security in Central and Eastern Europe and beyond. It will disrupt the status quo and therefore, unavoidably, lead to disputes.
During a one-hour panel discussion followed by an open Q&A session, we will attempt to explore some of the anticipated consequences of the war, including:
- shift from Russian fossil fuels to alternative sources of energy and resulting disputes
- growth potential for the renewable energy sector and the risk of further commercial and investment treaty disputes
- sanctions and their consequences
- possible accession of Ukraine to the European Union and its consequences
- nationalizations and state immunity laws
We will be joined by external speakers from CEE, representing business, government and the legal profession, who will provide their comments on these topics from different angles. We are looking forward to an insightful exchange.
More information about the speakers and the panel coming soon!

- Don't miss a very timely agenda covering a truly salient topic
- Join great speakers from various industry sectors and a CEE background sharing their perspective
- Grab an opportunity to connect live with your peers

Venue
Fluctuart
Fluctuart is the world’s first floating urban art center. It’s located near Pont des Invalides in Paris’ 7th arrondissement. Fluctuart first began as a proposal for the wider project, Reinventer la Seine (Reinventing the Seine), which aims to animate the sites along the banks of the Seine. The place showcases street and graffiti art and has been designed in a way that allows the Seine’s water enter in the heart of the building.
