Practical information
Accessibility
Since the invasion of Ukraine by Russia in 2022, Norway has become the European Union’s leading supplier of gas. This position could be further strengthened given the ongoing war in the Middle East.
Beyond the issue of energy, how does the Norwegian government view the current crises, and what means does it have to act within its regional environment (notably in the Arctic) and, more broadly, on the international stage? How does Norway - sharing a border with Russia and having been a member of NATO since its founding – approach the security of the Euro-Atlantic area? These are some of the questions that will be discussed during this conversation with Espen Barth Eide, Norway’s Minister of Foreign Affairs.
Discussion moderated by Marc Hecker, Ifri's Executive Director.

Geopolitical stakes of the New Moon race
As the United States, China, and India solidify their lunar ambitions, Europe is still seeking to define its stance: should it be a reliable partner or an autonomous strategic player? This conference will examine the stakes of this new race to the Moon and Europe’s interest in asserting itself as a lunar power through partnerships, industrial ambitions, and whether its participation in the new lunar race serves as a lever for strategic autonomy and internal cohesion, or an illustration of its dependence.
