The EDN strives to build a strong network of students and young professionals, who share a passion for defense and security politics as well as for Europe.
A relaxed dinner and a visit of beautiful #Tallinn concluded an amazing seminar!
A warm thank-you to our 20 participants, students and young professionals from 7 countries and @kaseurope's experts, who engaged into deep-diving in a critical region for Europe's security!
The rest of the day was followed by recollection in smaller groups, about the most striking insights brought during the seminar, and to draft some axis of reinforcement for Estonia and their NATO/EU partners to address the local challenges.
Day 1 was the visit to #TapaArmyBase, home to the 1st EE 🇪🇪 Brigade and UK 🇬🇧 and FR 🇫🇷 battlegroups.
2h of briefing by the commanding officers: a challenge to cover all interested questions from our participants, but a concrete grasp of their threats & operational challenges.
Aaaand... it's a wrap at the #BerlinSecurityConference#BSC23 !
Two intense days of conference to which a delegation of the @EuroDefNetwork had the chance to participate.

Specifically high on the agenda this year, the military-industrial-political convergence needed to enable production ramp-up, how to prepare for wars to come, and the Israel-Hamas conflict.
19 months after the invasion of Ukraine, the EU is taking the turn of this new era. (2/3)

Flashback on the conference last Wednesday in Madrid! 👀
The EDN organised with @Equipo_Europa a conference with high-level guests to speak about the impact on #Europe of #Ukraine and the Declaration of Versailles ⬇️
▶️ The relevance of the cognitive sphere, technology and information in a war of aggression which in turn recalls tendencies of nineteenth-century imperialism.
▶️ Russia's political and strategic future vis-à-vis both Europe and the Asian continent.
The price was awarded by the CIDAN, and the European Security and Defence Interparliamentary Association.
The EDN also received the🎖️medal of the President of the French Republic from General Jean-Pierre Metz @AllemagneDiplo.
Thank you for our exchanges and encouraging words!
