The Future of EU and NATO Defence Cooperation

Russia’s invasion of Ukraine marks a significant moment of reflection by Member States and the EU on how best to defend Europe in a time of existential crisis. As the EU faces an increasingly diverse threat spectrum, Mr Herczynski will discuss the ways in which the EU is cooperating with other multilateral organisations, such as NATO, to enhance Europe’s security.
