Ensuring Energy Security in Europe: The Need for a Multifaceted Approach International Conference / February 20, 2012 / Prague, Czech Republic Organized by: Fondation pour la Recherche Stratégique and the Prague Security Studies Institute Organizers Fondation pour la Recherche Stratégique www.frstrategie.org Fondation pour la Recherche Stratégique (the Foundation for Strategic Research) is an independent research centre. It conducts studies for French government departments and agencies, European institutions, international organizations and companies. It contributes to the strategic debate in France and abroad. The Foundation for Strategic Research has an interdisciplinary team of thirty researchers: experts in international and strategic matters, political scientists, engineers, scientists and former military. Its expertise covers the full spectrum of security and defence issues, from the analysis of technical-operational aspects, to in-depth knowledge of strategic areas, including defence economics and risks analysis (e. g. weapons of mass destruction proliferation). The Foundation for Strategic Research, as a major actor of the strategic debate, offers information on defence and security by publishing research related to strategic issues. Its website (www.frstrategie.org), its publications and the organization of events offer a major contribution to the national and international strategic debate. The Foundation for Strategic Research belongs to an international research centres network. It has established cooperation-based partnerships with several of them around research programmes, either independent or supported by international institutions. The Prague Security Studies Institute www.pssi.cz The Prague Security Studies Institute (PSSI) is a non-profit, non-governmental organization established in early 2002 to advance the building of a just, secure, democratic, free market society in the Czech Republic and other post-communist states. PSSI’s mission is also to build an ever-growing group of informed, security-minded policy practitioners dedicated to the development of democratic institutions and values in the Czech Republic and its regional neighbors. PSSI offers programs that meet the critical requirements associated with equipping new generations of young leaders to manage the complex, security related challenges of the 21st century. To fulfill its mission, PSSI conducts a broad range of activities under its Security Scholars Program, Program of Atlantic Security Studies, Regional Outreach Program and Corporate Council Program. PSSI aims to identify and analyze cutting-edge foreign policy and security-related developments in transatlantic relations and other theaters of the world, and to propose sound, achievable policy responses to address these and other security challenges. Its foremost interest remains, however, in preserving the hard-fought freedoms of the Czech Republic and other post-communist states through strength, prosperity and individual liberty.
