In the continuity of the work carried out by ARES since 2016 (publication of policy papers, comments and reports, organization of round tables and webinars, etc.), the “ARES Podcast Series” offers a new and original format to encourage fresh strategic thinking in the field of European defence industrial policies. Drawing on the expertise of ARES’ scientific advisors, high-level defence specialists across Europe, it intends to provide an analysis of current developments in defence industrial policy in several European countries, tackle new challenges affecting EDTIB, to provide listeners with the keys to understanding quickly evolving issues. To open this podcast series, a first set of episodes will be dedicated to the evolution of European military budgets in the context of the war in Ukraine.
