An interesting report imagining three futures for Europe in 10 years' time, and the role played by universities. The future scenarios are "Europe's resurrection", "Tech oligarchy under US hegemony", and "Fragmented society".
Europe’s competitiveness agenda is an opportunity for universities. To fully contribute, they must strategically position themselves, but they also need the right framework conditions (e.g. institutional autonomy, international openness)

The fact that the report for the Munich Security Conference is called "Under Destruction" says a lot. "The world has entered a period of wrecking-ball politics. Sweeping destruction – rather than careful reforms and policy corrections – is the order of the day," with int'l order "under destruction."

⚔️ Munich Security Conference report:
In the event of a ceasefire in Ukraine, the Kremlin could rebuild its forces for a “regional war” in the Baltic Sea region within 2 years, and for an attack on one of its neighbors within just 6 months.

"Europe needs independent European infrastructure now—especially home-grown social networks that preserve a level playing field for information, safeguard media freedom and guarantee genuine freedom of speech, including the right to access facts instead of being fed lies and propaganda"
"European democracy faces a coordinated assault. From the East, Putin is unleashing unprecedented propaganda campaigns that sway elections and erode pro-Ukraine majorities in the European Council. From the West, US Pres. Donald Trump threatens retaliatory tariffs if Europe enforces its own rules."
Europe Can’t Defend Democracy on US Servers
As long as 80 percent of European digital products and services originate in the United States, blackmail will thrive, writes Alexandra Geese.

The gap between the increasingly pressing need for European countries to pool their defense efforts and their demonstrated ability/willingness to do so seems... quite wide.
In 2017, France’s Emmanuel Macron personally launched a joint program among three EU countries to build a sixth-generation fighter jet.
Now the project is on the verge of collapse, four European officials told POLITICO.
