EU Hydrogen Diplomacy in Africa and the Middle East - Publication by EPICO and Energy and Climate Chair

Earlier this year, the think tank EPICO and the Iberdrola Energy and Climate Chair of the College of Europe launched a call for policy briefs on EU hydrogen diplomacy strategies vis-à-vis third countries.

The call was open to applications from students and alumni of the College of Europe, and diplomats from the EU Diplomatic Academy. The policy-briefs were evaluated by a high-level review board, and the winners were awarded a prize during a closing event at the Australian Embassy to the EU.

This publication includes the four winning papers of the 2023 call for papers:

1. "Powering a Global Just Transition: Fostering Socio-Ecological Justice in the EU's Green Hydrogen Partnership with Morocco" By Stefanie Schäfer and Jonas Meuleman
2. "EU Hydrogen Diplomacy vis-à-vis the Eastern Mediterranean"
   By Anna-Loreen Mondorf
3. "Unlocking Cooperation with the Southern Neighborhood on Renewable Hydrogen"
   By Ana Valverde
4. "An EU Strategy: Unlocking the Potential of Green Hydrogen Production in Southern and Eastern Africa"
