Oliver Reschreiter

About

Marie Skłodowska-Curie Actions Doctoral Network funded PhD candidate at Jagiellonian University. My research examines the geopolitics of energy security and critical raw materials in the European Union’s external engagements, with a particular emphasis on Central Asia and the South Caucasus. I focus on how the EU’s efforts to reduce hydrocarbon dependency and foster renewable energy transitions are reshaping external partnerships, particularly in resource-rich and politically complex regions.
