The RUSI Europe office in Brussels was established in 2015 and acts as a hub for all of RUSI’s innovative research. This deep and broad defence and security expertise is built around seven research groups covering everything from cyber and tech and defence industries to finance and security.

Uniquely positioned to share insights on UK thinking on security and defence issues, we help Brussels-based officials and businesses to access and engage with UK decision-makers.


Convening power 

RUSI Europe brings the Institute’s unique exceptional convening power to Brussels. We host high-level conferences and policy roundtables, shaping the defence and security debates:

  • High-level roundtables: Discussing latest research findings and their foreign policy implications, RUSI Europe hosted a high-level discussion on transatlantic security with ambassadors, researchers, and NATO and EU officials in March 2025.  

  • Policy roundtables: Focusing on the importance of Women, Peace and Security (WPS) policies and best practices, RUSI Europe held a joint policy roundtable with RAND Europe in January 2025, convening diplomats, NATO and EU officials. 

  • Thematic summits: Bringing together UK and EU member state officials, business representatives and a network of European think-tanks, RUSI Europe hosted the SIFMANet Sanctions Summit in November 2024. 

  • High-level conferences: In collaboration with the UK Joint Delegation to NATO, RUSI Europe organised a high-level event on the occasion of NATO’s 75th anniversary in April 2024, featuring a keynote from the UK Foreign Secretary.
