About the Centre
The Centre for European Studies focuses on the evolving political, security, and economic landscape of Europe and its implications for global governance and India's strategic interests. The Centre analyses the European Union, NATO, Russia, and broader European security architecture while examining Europe's role in international diplomacy, defence cooperation, technological innovation, energy transition, and global economic governance. Through evidence-based research and policy dialogue, the Centre contributes to a deeper understanding of Europe's changing strategic environment and the opportunities for strengthening India-Europe partnerships.
