2024 was another successful year for the Centre for Security, Diplomacy and Strategy (CSDS). 2024 saw the Centre build on its growing reputation as a leading research hub in Brussels that tackles the defining security questions of our time. During the year CSDS continued to focus its efforts on the Indo-Pacific, European security and defence, Europe-Japan relations, Europe-South Korea relations, geopolitics and technology, diplomacy, Europe-Taiwan relations, transatlantic security and much more.
As this annual report shows, CSDS has increased the tempo and ambition of its research and outreach activities. CSDS has gained wider acclaim through major events such as the Brussels Indo-Pacific Dialogue. Likewise, 2024 was a successful year for CSDS products such as policy briefs, in-depth papers, conversations and our new podcast series, Strategy Speaks. CSDS has also continued to deliver cutting-edge research in leading journals and books.
In terms of project acquisition and delivery, CSDS has a proven track-record of delivering high-quality, policy relevant, analysis. In particular, CSDS was extremely pleased to kick-off two European Research Council projects on US-China rivalry and European autonomy and geopolitics and technology. CSDS also started its work as part of the INPACE project in 2024, and the Centre learned of its success in attracting more exciting projects that will begin in 2025.
In our Annual Report for 2024, CSDS highlights its events, projects, outreach activities and publications.
