OGEL special issue on Student Papers

Oil, Gas and Energy Law Intelligence (OGEL) invites submissions for the special issue compiled from high quality student papers. In particular, we are looking for papers from current or former LL.M and PhD students. The papers should be well written essays from any energy related subject. Papers that have already been collected include topics such as third party access to energy infrastructure, security of supply and unbundling of energy networks. While we are also very interested in purely national topics, we particularly solicit papers on international or cross-border topics.

This special issue will be edited by Kim Talus, a doctoral researcher of EC Energy Law at the Institute of International Economic Law (University of Helsinki). For more information contact:
