Global Turkey in Europe

Turkey is central for European energy interests. It is not only a significant energy consumer, but it is also at the heart of energy geopolitics. How can the EU and Turkey enhance their cooperation in the energy sector?

 

Turkey is central for European energy interests. It is not only a significant energy consumer, but it is also at the heart of energy geopolitics, being a central transit state located at the intersection of the east-western and north-southern energy corridors in the Mediterranean and Eurasia.

In light of this, the Stiftung Mercator, IAI, the IPC, and the ECFR are organising a conference on how the EU and Turkey can enhance their cooperation in the energy sector.
