European energy policy currently faces several challenges: successful implementation of an internal energy market, security of the gas supply under the current tensions between Russia and Ukraine, impact of vast renewable energy generation on electricity markets and a need to improve the functioning of the carbon market. At the beginning of a challenging legislative period, a new path for European energy policy needs to be considered.
This conference will address different aspects of European energy policy, focusing on the governance issue. While the current crisis between Ukraine and Russia brings security of supply back to the top of the agenda, building a truly integrated approach is a priority, now more than ever. This means better coordinating the European strategy with the rapid evolutions taking place on the international energy stage, as well as rethinking the well-known triangle between security, competitiveness, and sustainability, so that it does not become a trilemma, that is, an impossible choice. This requires a better balance between EU institutions, which have to lead the vision, and Member States.

Paris Naval Conference 2025: Naval Power and the Challenges of Securing Maritime Autonomy
Playing a crucial role in the global economy, the maritime economy, which includes maritime transport, fishing, the extraction of underwater resources, the leisure and tourism sectors and, increasingly, marine renewable energies, is particularly exposed to the deterioration of international relations when it is expressed primarily in common spaces. As such, it seems inexorably destined to (re)become an essential issue for the navies in charge of securing maritime activities.
