Terrorism has evolved and grown over the last decades whereas our understanding of this threat is still limited.

Upcoming event: Franco-German Relations: What potential to influence the future of the EU?
With a seemingly shifting world order, expectations towards the European Union are growing with regards to its ability to transform.

Upcoming event: A Common European Defence Market – How to Tackle Fragmentation
Among the main targets of European defence initiatives is the fragmentation and inefficiency of the European defence market. European Union member states currently procure 80% of their defence equipment nationally. According to a European Commission estimate, this leads to a loss of around 50 billion € in opportunity costs per year. Fostering a more collaborative defence market will be a key if policy makers in Europe wish for more capable and interoperable armed forces.
