Beyond the Annual Conference, EISS runs and partners on multi-year activities 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.
A conference co-organised with the Center for International Studies (CERI) at Sciences Po. The June 2024 edition, “Origins of War and Diplomacy”, gathered scholars across palaeoanthropology, archaeology, primatology, linguistics and political science in Paris.
