"Launched in 2025 by the Robert Schuman Centre for Advanced Studies (RSCAS) at the European University Institute (EUI), in collaboration with the European Union Institute for Security Studies (EUISS), the Trans European Policy Studies Association (TEPSA), and the European Initiative for Security Studies (EISS), ‘Global Risks to the EU’ constitutes the first continent-wide dataset on global risk perceptions among European experts. About 400 respondents rank the likelihood and expected impact of 30 predefined risks affecting EU coherence, unity, security, and prosperity. By operationalising risk as a measurable construct and applying systematic scoring methods, this initiative aims to generate strategic foresight for European foreign policy."
