Energy Security and Strategic Communications

The project was realized with five partner organizations: the Research Center of the Slovak Foreign Policy Association (Slovakia), Centre for Global Studies “Strategy XXI” (Ukraine), KNO Česko, spol. s r.o.

The project’s aim was to contribute to building «communication bridges» between civil and governmental actors in Visegrad and Ukraine, as well as to strengthen the capacity of interacting between multi-stakeholders in a case of an energy crisis. The conducted research and discussions helped to indicate the voids and «good practices» of communication between the abovementioned actors and later define solutions and draft recommendations to these challenges.

  • Energy Crisis Simulation (Warsaw, 16-17 January 2019)
  • White Paper on multi-stakeholder strategic communication in the energy sector in the Czech Republic, Poland, Slovakia and Ukraine.
