SUMMARY:Conference - Defence & Space in the next EU Multi-annual Financial Framework
DESCRIPTION:What dynamic to support European re-armament?In the context of the full scale war in Ukraine\, calling for reinforced European defence efficiency and industrial capacity\, and as new tools as EDIP enter into force\, deep-dive into the 2027-2034 MFF: policy behind the proposal from the Commission\, and expected main points of debate until full adoption. \n\n\n\n\n\nWhat are the next 10 years going to look like for European defence & space policies?Last Wednesday\, the EDN – European Defence Network had the opportunity to investigate this question through the European defence & space budget trajectory\, the 2028-2034 MFF\, with 2 members of DG DEFIS:➡️ María Fernández Molinero\, Head of Unit for Space Policy➡️ David Jelínek\, Policy Officer for Defence Industry\, on behalf of his Head of Unit Guillaume de La Brosse➡️ Moderated by Tom KörnerKey takeaways:▶️ 3 drivers:Simplicity: create a single\, unified spectrum of financial tools from existing frameworksFlexibility: leave room for adaptation\, given increasing number of crisesPredictability: to allow industry investment decisions▶️ Very different situations between space and defence:🛰️ Space budget largely depends on existing or planned projects (IRIS2\, GOVSATCOM\, Galileo\, Copernicus)\, with a plan to lever these assets for defence & security🪖 Defence budget will focus on maintaining the effects of existing tools (EDF\, ASAP\, EDIRPA\, EDIP\, …)\, while adding infrastructure (Connecting Europe) and Miitary logistics support mechanisms.▶️ Focusing on Made in Europe remains an objective\, with details to be adjusted (made\, based\, controlled\, …)

SUMMARY:Conference - Youth Panel with Airbus at BEDEX
DESCRIPTION:Conferences\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nWhat role and expectations for youth in the European defence industry?  \n\n\n\nAirbus Defence and Space invited us to their stand at BEDEX – Brussels European Defence Exhibition & Conference to moderate an exchange between Airbus professionals and a mixed group of young professionals and students. This informal fireside chat bridged the gap between the high-level stakeholders that were present at BEDEX\, and a younger audience interested in security and defence topics\, wanting to learn more about the defence industry and its wider role within society. \n\n\n\nParticipants and bystanders had the chance to learn about the industry professionals’ personal motivation and background\, and what they think of the interconnection between defence and sustainability\, democracy\, resilience. Additionally\, we touched upon questions of youth involvement and diversity\, and were glad to see much interest to ask deeper going questions from the audience\, both during the conversation and in follow up personal exchanges at the stand.

SUMMARY:Crisis simulation - Military planning exercise
DESCRIPTION:🗺️ How do you plan a large-scale military operation during a major geopolitical crisis? What are the tactical and political considerations to keep in mind\, and which unexpected surrounding factors might play a role? The EDN stepped into the minds of military advisors and explored such a crisis scenario in a hands-on exercise\, under the guidance of Michael Benhamou co-director of OPEWI – Europe’s War Institute.  \n\n\n\nOur participants mastered a lot of new knowledge and experience diving into this concrete scenario\, constantly challenged and responding to new inputs over the course of the workshop.
