Europe’s Safety Post-Brexit: Common Threats and Ways Forward

European countries face a number of security challenges – from terrorism and cyberwarfare to cross-border criminal activity – that are threatening the safety of its citizens. Over the years, the EU has developed a series of instruments, from shared databases to arrest warrants, which have facilitated cross-border communication and action. Both the UK and the EU27 have a mutual interest in continuing to collaborate closely in this area but debates on how this could work in practice have been constrained by political dynamics and existing third-party precedents. 

The aim of this workshop will be to discuss how the UK can most effectively cooperate with the EU on internal security matters post-Brexit and the viability and operational implications of the UK and the EU’s proposals to date.

Attendance at this event is by invitation only.
