Welcome
What would our world be without energy? Today more than ever before the question is on the lips of the scientific community but also on the lips of thousands of individuals around the globe. Closely linked to this question is the fundamental topic of climate change. With this website we hope to bring you some insight in the legal aspects of the questions that lie behind the emegence of these major debates.
Indeed, our forum is dedicated to research in the field of energy law. This website is thus aimed at scholars, lawyers and anyone interested in Energy Law with an emphasis on european energy Law. Through this interactive space we hope to attract the participation of leading individuals in the field while creating a real community where exchanges of views and information on this mind grabbing subject can take place. Our ultimate goal is therefore to provide you with all the information you need about the global and european energy legal system as well as national laws that have an effect on the evolution of the energy regulatory framework.
