RUSI Europe is a not-for-profit international organisation, independent of government, and is committed to objectivity, integrity and impartiality in all of its work. Our mission is to leverage the Institute’s research capacities to inform policy-making at the EU, NATO and among their member states. Based in Brussels, RUSI Europe builds on the Royal United Services Institute’s almost 200 years of expertise in security and defence. We carry out research, provide a forum for security and defence dialogues, and are committed to help solve the most urgent security and defence challenges.
