Asked by Professor Ronald Hatto about Germany buying US-American #F35 fighter jets, Tobias Cremer explains that "on the long run, we need to increase European production and the EU market. But more importantly, we need to be ready to defend ourselves by the end of the decade". #PariserPlatzDialogue

In his keynote, Tobias Cremer lays out a structure for how to finance EU #defence, covering a more closely integrated industry, private investment and potentially defence bonds. "We can actually create what we do best: A common market, but for defence." #PariserPlatzDialogue

#COP30: "Climate policies are being watered down across the board. Decarbonizing industry, transport, and heating needs a mix of sticks and carrots, i.e., subsidies and carbon prices."

📸 A serious subject, a heartfelt debate. Yesterday's "Research meets Politics" event at the French Embassy in Berlin brought together four experts from Franco-German academia and policy to discuss one of the current key questions for our continent: How should we invest in European defence?
October 16, 2025 at 2:34 PM
@onethuthree.bsky.social closes the event with final remarks - for the first time in her role as new Acting Co-Direktor of the Jacques Delors Centre - jokingly challenging the panelists to win the next Nobel prize for economy much like last year's guest Philippe Aghion. #ResearchMeetsPolitics #PPD
October 15, 2025 at 2:28 PM
How comparable is the current situation with the 80s? How are defence investment strategies affected by the surge of far-right parties in member states? And how can the savings discussed in the Letta report be used for investments? Interesting questions for the panel during the Q&A. #PPD

@guntramwolff.bsky.social from @ulbruxelles.bsky.social points out how much of European defence equipment works with US software: "While on the one hand, we're increasing our capabilities, on the other hand we're also increasing our dependencies." #ResearchMeetsPolitics
October 15, 2025 at 1:11 PM
Thomas Röwekamp, Member of the Bundestag, points out that we need a conversation in our society about the need for defence: "We not only have to decide the questions on the table, we actually have to debate them with the younger generation." #ResearchMeetsPolitics
October 15, 2025 at 12:48 PM
"European defence and the defence of Europe are not the same thing", @sabine-thillaye.bsky.social, Member of the @assembleenationale.bsky.social, states while explaining how difficult it is to discuss EU defence with her constituency far from the French border. #ResearchMeetsPolitics #PPD
October 15, 2025 at 12:25 PM
French Ambassador François Delattre opens the event with an overview of Franco-German and European projects and plans to support EU #defence: "I am convinced that Europe's innovation potential is huge, relying on a very dynamic defence innovation ecosystem." #ResearchMeetsPolitics #PPD
October 15, 2025 at 12:08 PM

Europe is in danger. In an op-ed by Enrico Letta, Pascal Lamy and Kolinda Grabar-Kitarović, we call on Europe to complete the #SingleMarket by 2028 - not with slogans, but through concrete action in energy, telecoms, capital, knowledge, and defence. Read more 👉 www.politico.eu/article/euro...

🚦 Europe is in danger. Geopolitics, disinformation and democratic fatigue threaten its foundations.

🇪🇺 A new pan-European initiative is coming to invent, impact and engage.

🚀 Stay tuned.
