NATO Forum on Energy Security
A NATO Forum on “Science, Business & Technology for Critical Energy Infrastructure Protection” took place in Prague, Czech Republic, from 24 to 26 February 2006. The Forum provided a platform for interaction between the security and defence community and science and technologies companies, as well as oil, gas and electricity producers, in order to discuss the global threats and challenges to the integrity of the world's energy system. Business and technology providers focused on the pragmatic responses to the challenges to global energy supply and system integrity. The policy-makers community helped steer the discussion towards the delivery of a common blueprint for moving forward the agenda on enhancing energy security across the Euro-Atlantic area. Part of the discussion focused on defining NATO’s role in the field of energy security. High-level government representatives, NATO’s officials, and senior representatives from the global energy community attended this event. Organisations supporting the event included the Institute for the Analysis of Global Security, the Prague Security Studies Institute, Eurogas, Society of Petroleum Engineers (SPE), the New Defence Agenda (NDA) and the United Nations Economic Commission for Europe (UNECE), as well as the New Security Programme of the Centre for Defence and International Security Studies (CDISS).
Further information on the Forum, co-directed by Dr Kevin Rosner, US, and Dr Hryhoriy Nemyria, from the Centre for European and International Studies, Kyiv, Ukraine, will be available in the forthcoming edition of the newsletter “Science, Society, Security” at http://www.nato.int/science/newsletter/newsletter.htm
