University of Kent Environmental Energy Analysis Group (EEAG)
Between 2009 and 2010 the Energy Analysis Group at the University of Kent held a series of workshop events that sought to highlight, analyse, and make policy recommendations on key contemporary issues within energy. The workshops saw speakers and delegates from political, economic and industry based energy organisations, as well as involvement from higher education institutions across the UK and Europe. Although no EAG events have occurred since 2010, the previously constructed framework is still very much in existence, with co-operation occurring between EAG members and partner institutions. Therefore, the logical next step for the EAG and partners is to develop a forum by which the previous events, analyses, and findings can be made public and available to industry and academia.
Through the development of a knowledge-based consortium consisting of Douglas-Westwood ltd, the Energy Analysis Group (University of Kent) and the Institute of European Studies (VUB, Brussels), the ideas, expertise, and analysis of all parties could be distilled and made available to the energy world through the creation of a co-written publication. Such a document would provide analysis of key themes, events, and trends of energy and energy-related geo-politics. Publications of this nature do already exist, with their being a number of prominent briefing paper, event analysis, and policy recommendation fora in the public domain; for example from the IEA, the Royal Institute of International Affairs, the Foundation for International Relations and Exterior Dialogue in Madrid, and the Centre for European Policy Studies in Brussels. While all prominent in their own right in analysing energy and energy-related themes, the matrix of expertise at the disposal of the EAG-DW-IES-HIE four-party consortium’s disposal provides an almost unique situation for multi-faceted and multi-dimensional analysis. Released on a quarterly basis, the paper would provide analysis and, if appropriate, policy recommendation in document covering between 1,500 and 2,000 words with accompanying maps, charts, or tables of relevance. Depending upon the specific topic, content would either be solely or jointly written by the partner institutions.
