As energy security moves higher on Europe's political agenda, EERA experts have been contributing research-based perspectives to several major media discussions on the future of Europe's energy system. 

Recently, EERA Secretary General Adel El Gammal participated in debates hosted by RTBF and Le Soir, addressing the energy and economic implications of current geopolitical developments. The main focus was on topics including Europe's strategic autonomy, global energy markets, and the impact of rising energy prices on the European economy.

EERA Policy Director Rosita Zilli also contributed to the debate in an interview with Euronews, where she emphasised on the importance of combining renewable energy, nuclear power and modernised grid infrastructure to reinforce Europe's long-term resilience. Moreover, she pointed to the need to upgrade ageing electricity networks and place greater emphasis on energy sufficiency. Read the full Euronews interview here.

These interventions showed the growing role of energy research and innovation in addressing some of Europe's most pressing challenges. By contributing to public discussions, EERA guarantees that scientific expertise remains part of the conversation on energy security and the energy transition.
