The EUSI Policy Dialogues are biannual events held in and organized in cooperation with respective EU member states holding the Council Presidency. Held alongside formal EU meetings, the dialogues are exchanges between policymakers and a core pool of experts and academics from leading European think tanks and universities. They discuss key issues from both the EU and member state perspectives, striking a balance between the current agenda and a long-term outlook. The dialogues also aim to give special attention to innovative proposals for EU security and defence stemming from inquiries of Early Career academics and experts affiliated with the EUSI.
EUSI Policy Dialogues are by invitation only, and proceed under Chatham House rules.
The last Policy Dialogue took place at the Royal Danish Defence College in Copenhagen, on 8th of December 2025.
