The European University at St. Petersburg (EUSP) as one of the first independent universities in post-Soviet Russia has retained its freedom from state and corporate interests since its founding in 1994. Today EUSP seeks to continue its contribution to independent research by establishing ENERPO Research Center under its auspices. The goal of this Center is to provide a balanced analysis of the energy challenges faced by governments and companies worldwide, with a specific focus on Russia’s role in global energy markets and within the neighboring states. The new research platform at EUSP will also enable domestic energy stakeholders to compare their experiences with that of other resource-rich nations in order to facilitate a more informed approach to the development of energy resources. Our contribution to a better understanding of the challenges faced by energy consuming nations and the needs of producing countries will help policymakers and companies to navigate the quickly evolving energy sphere.
