EDINA

EDINA (European Defence in a New Age) is a think tank focused on European and German defence and security. It aims to make complex defence policy easier to understand by turning research and analysis into clear insights and practical policy recommendations. Its work supports informed decision-making and strategic planning as Europe responds to changing security challenges. EDINA also connects experts from different sectors and countries, creating a platform for integrated expertise and ideas to help guide Europe’s security transformation.

The organisation offers publications in formats suited to different audiences, from in-depth research papers and long-form reports to concise policy briefs and short-read “sedcards.” Its coverage includes developments in European defence, the defence industrial ecosystem, security policy and strategic responses. Recent sedcards examine sectors such as fixed-wing aviation, missiles and armoured fighting vehicles, outlining capabilities, industrial strengths, gaps and dependencies. Longer reports address topics including geostrategic change, Europe’s defence ecosystem, readiness and efforts to prevent future conflict. Through these resources, EDINA seeks to connect evidence-based analysis with practical policy debate.
