The event is organised by the Ignacy Lukasiewicz Institute for Energy Policy in cooperation with the Rzeszow University of Technology.

The main objective of the Conference is to contribute to the scientific and expert discussion on energy security policy and the broader energy sector. We believe that the creation of a platform for holding debate involving scientists, experts, representatives of public administration, energy companies, NGOs, business journalists and students will contribute to the development of scientific output in this area.

The main thread of this year's discussions will be energy security in the context of the current energy market turmoil and the parallel energy transition. Plenary and thematic panels will address:

  • directions for the development of the hydrogen economy,
  • the position and role of large and small nuclear power,
  • offshore wind energy,
  • hybrid threats to the security of critical infrastructure,
  • the dangers of disinformation campaigns,
  • development of renewable energy,

as well as an assessment of the energy security of NATO's eastern flank countries in the context of Russian Federation policy, and an analysis of the changes taking place in global energy policy as a result of the war in Ukraine, with lessons for Poland and Western Europe.

The year 2022 is the Year of Ignacy Łukasiewicz due to the 200th anniversary of his birth and 140th anniversary of his death of this outstanding Pole - pharmacist, entrepreneur, independence activist, social activist, philanthropist, inventor of the kerosene lamp and founder of the world's first oil mine, pioneer of the oil industry in Europe, as well as patron of the Institute of Energy Policy and the Rzeszów University of Technology. It is Ignacy Lukasiewicz who will be the subject of one of the conference panels.

Moreover, during the Conference the Ignacy Łukasiewicz Award in the field of energy security will be presented and the 2nd edition of the Competition for the Most Innovative Energy Local Government will be adjudicated.

For the second time, the Conference is supported by The NATO Public Diplomacy Division. This is the only conference in Podkarpacie and one of the few in the country, in the organization of which the structures of the NATO joined.
