Highlighted Projects
The EU Gulf Connect
The Gulf is a crucial bridge between Europe, Asia, and Africa; its stability directly affects EU interests. A deeper EU–Gulf partnership could secure market access, energy supply, and cooperation on climate, health, and security. But obstacles remain — differing interests, regional sensitivities, and the need to balance stability with respect for local dynamics — so progress will require diplomacy, flexibility, and mutual compromise.
Gender and Security
BIC mainstreams gender across its research to reveal how security affects people differently and to shape inclusive policies that advance gender equality.
Rethinking Security in the 2020's
In the past decade, technological advancements have accelerated exponentially, changing the nature of communication, political strategy, and defense. Despite a wide range of improvements in conventional security and weapons systems, arguably providing a significant an unprecedented level of physical security against traditional attacks in most developed countries, these advancements have catalysed a new era of hybrid warfare and unconventional attacks.
