The ‘European Defence & Security’ course will analyse how the EU is boosting its ambitions, efforts and tools to address rapidly evolving security challenges both within the EU and outside its borders. An ever-changing international stage and increased threats such as cyber-attacks and other forms of hybrid threats, as well as global terrorism, call for more integrated mechanisms and strategic autonomy. The course is a unique opportunity to get a thorough understanding and practical approach of how the EU is trying to address and prioritise this key topic.
