The seminar explores the role of technical universities in collaboration with industry to enhance Europe's defence capabilities in light of geopolitical challenges. It aims to engage participants in discussions about European defence planning, dual-use technologies, and the education of engineers for the modern defence sector.

The seminar will address key themes including:

  • Engaging technical universities in European defence planning and strategic security initiatives.
  • Leveraging dual-use technologies to strengthen resilience and accelerate knowledge transfer from science to application.
  • Educating a new generation of engineers equipped with the digital and analytical skills essential for the modern defence sector.

Speakers will include representatives from notable institutions and organisations involved in defence and technology. An official presentation of the European Ranking of Engineering Programs (EngiRank 2025) will also be featured. Participation provides an opportunity for stakeholders to exchange views, learn from peers, and establish partnerships at the intersection of higher education, research, innovation, and defence policy.
