🇪🇺 Our March 2026 Europe Defence News Roundup is here!

March marked a clear acceleration across European defence policy, with shifts in nuclear doctrine, operational deployments, and industrial mobilisation converging into a more integrated security posture.

🚨 Strategic outlook: Change in French Nuclear Doctrine?

🇫🇷 France announced its most significant nuclear doctrine update in decades, introducing a “forward deterrence” concept that expands the role of French nuclear forces within Europe’s broader security architecture. While control remains strictly national, the move signals a potential extension of deterrence to European allies, with early support from several NATO members and renewed debate on European strategic autonomy.

On Defence & Space in the 2027-2034 EU Budget (MFF)

➡️ María Fernández Molinero, Head of Unit - Space Policy
➡️ Guillaume de La Brosse, Head of Unit - Defence policy & innovation

Register here: https://lnkd.in/ewK8TjrF

We will focus on Defence & Space industrial strategy behind the Multi-Annual Financial Framework: what dynamic to support European re-armament?

In the context of the full scale war in Ukraine, stressing the need to reinforce the European defence efficiency and industrial capacity, and as new tools as EDIP enter into force, the 2027-2034 MFF will be instrumental to maintain and complete current policies.
To that end, the EDN - European Defence Network proposes to deep-dive into the policy behind the proposal from the Commission, and the expected main points of debate until full adoption.

🙏 We are very grateful to our speakers for delving with us into this structuring policy!
