The EU Security Initiative (EUSI) aims to foster forward-looking, values-based dialogue and research on European security and defence.

Rooted in the EUI’s dual identity as a research university and international organisation, and aligned with its vision for a future EUI, the EUSI aims to construct spaces to productively and critically connect academia and policy. It does so through facilitating a format of structured and recurring exchange between researchers, policymakers, practitioners, private sector and civil society actors across Europe—breaking silos, fostering co-creation, and exploring both urgent and long-term security challenges.
