A CERAX public policy forum on translating new European defence commitments into capability, readiness and credible institutional coordination.
Purpose of the forum
Europe is moving from the language of strategic urgency to the harder work of delivery. This CERAX forum examines the institutional choices required to convert higher defence expenditure into interoperable capability, resilient supply chains and sustained readiness.
Discussion priorities
- Capability planning and the European industrial base.
- Readiness, mobility and civil-military resilience.
- NATO-EU coordination and the European pillar of deterrence.
- Procurement discipline, accountability and measurable outcomes.
Participation
The programme brings together public officials, defence and security specialists, researchers and institutional partners. A public summary will record the principal policy conclusions.
