6.1. EU INSTITUTE FOR SECURITY STUDIES by Gustav Lindstrom
The European Union Institute for Security Studies (EUISS) is the Union’s agency dealing with the analysis of foreign, security and defence policy issues.
MISSION AND STRUCTURE
Institute for Security Studies
Based in Paris with an office in Brussels, the EUISS is an integral part of the EU structures that underpin the further development of the CFSP/CSDP. The Institute acts as an interface between the EU institutions and external experts – including security actors – to develop the EU’s strategic thinking.
EUISS, Bernal Revert
The Institute was established in July 2001 as an autonomous agency under the CFSP (Council Joint Action 2001/554, now regulated by Council Decision 2014/75/CFSP) to foster a common security culture for the EU, support the elaboration and projection of its foreign policy and enrich the strategic debate inside and outside Europe.
European Union
The EUISS together with the EEAS, European Commission, European Cybercrime Center and EU Agency for Cybersecurity - ENISA hosted the second edition of the EU Cyber Forum. The event - organised as part of the EU Cyber Direct project - was opened by Josep Borrell Fontelles, High Representative and Vice President of the European Commission.
