Space and Security in Europe

Following a 2002 research project on the relations between the European Security and Defence Policy and the space sector (see IAI Quaderni, n.15), the IAI conducted an  international study on Space and Security in Europe, funded by the European Space Agency (ESA).
The IAI led a Research Group that included the Centre for European Reform (CER), London, the  Deutsche Gesellschaft für Auswärtige Politik (DGAP), Berlin, the European Union Institute for Security Studies (EU-ISS), Paris, the Fondation pour la Recherche Stratégique (FRS), Paris,  the Institut d’Etudes Européennes (IEE) of the University of Louvaine and the Real Instituto Elcano des Estudios Internacionales y Estratégicos, Madrid.
The research group was investigating the political, institutional and economics aspects of the European space activities in the security field, as well as the prospective of a common European space security policy.
