Beyond the Annual Conference, EISS runs and partners on multi-year programmes that address specific themes in European security studies — from training the next generation of scholars to assessing strategic risks to the EU.
A four-year COST Action that EISS launched together with a dozen institutions across Europe to address the fragmentation of the continent’s intellectual and analytical base in security studies. Watch for policy workshops, summer schools, and conferences.
A residential summer school for PhD students and early-career researchers working at the intersection of security studies, strategic studies, and international relations.
A research programme on the use of coercive instruments — sanctions, threats, hybrid measures — in contemporary statecraft, gathering scholars and practitioners.
The European Summer Workshop on the Analysis of Military Operations and Strategy — a partnership programme bringing together advanced students of strategy.
A periodic expert survey on the global risks European security analysts consider most consequential for the EU — and the responses they recommend.
