Friends Of Europe Podcasts

The first session of the Security Summit hosted by Friends of Europe on 20 September focused on the role of the European Union within a security landscape currently undergoing significant global change. As new threats require new capabilities, defence strategies may incorporate recent technological developments to adapt to the shifting nature of modern warfare. Speakers included Lowri Evans (European Commission Director-General for Internal Market, Industry, Entrepreneurship and SMEs); Edvinas Kerza (Lithuanian Vice Minister of Defence); Frank Sauer (Senior Research Fellow and Lecturer at Bundeswehr University Munich) and Mary Wareham (Global Coordinator of the Campaign to Stop Killer Robots). The panel discussion was moderated by Jamie Shea, Senior Fellow at Friends of Europe and Deputy Assistant Secretary General for Emerging Security Challenges at NATO (2010-2018).
