Webinar’s Topic<\/strong><\/p>\n

As global demand for electricity grows, so does the need for nuclear power. At the same time, however, concerns related to the use of nuclear energy are also on the rise, including on the following questions: (1) How can we prevent energy, whether it be nuclear or other type of energy, from becoming a geopolitical tool in the resource box of major powers, especially those that are not particularly known for compliance with international norms and principles? and (2) Will the international community be able to ensure a high level of implementation of safety standards of nuclear energy in the context of an increasingly fragmented international system?<\/p>\n

Effective management of issues raised by these and other questions requires the collaboration of a broad range of actors that goes beyond both geographical boundaries and ideological differences in relation to the use of nuclear energy.<\/p>\n

How can the EU, its member states, and other likeminded allies cooperate in not allowing others define the nuclear energy landscape and cede leadership to them on nuclear energy safety, security and, as well as foreign policy influence? What would be the political, economic and international security implications for the EU if the third countries would dominate the civil nuclear energy landscape?<\/p>\n

With this in mind, KEDISA \u2013 the Center for International Strategic Analyses, in cooperation with the Embassy of the Republic of Lithuania in Greece is organizing a webinar, which intends to discuss the issues mentioned earlier and, above all, to seek answers on what the EU, as a community, and as its individual member-states, could do to reinvigorate and rejuvenate responsible Western leadership in the global nuclear energy industry.<\/p>\n
