11/2025: SPOTLIGHT ON TOBIAS CREMER
European Ambitions on Defence and the Transatlantic Link
A Franco-German Discussion
As Europe navigates an increasingly complex security landscape, the question of how to safeguard its future has never been more pressing. What steps should Europe take to bolster its defence capabilities? What should members states, European institutions and NATO do about it, and how could their interplay look like? And what role will partnerships and alliances – especially the transatlantic link – play in this endeavour?
On 19 November 2025, the spotlight will be on Tobias Cremer, who will share his reflections on how Europeans should shape the future of European security and defence. Cremer is a Member of the European Parliament, active in the Committee on Security and Defence and the Committee on Foreign Affairs, and part of the Delegation for relations with the United States and the NATO Parliamentary Assembly.
This event, is jointly organised by the Jacques Delors Centre and Sciences Po Paris. Our Spotlight guest, MEP Tobias Cremer, will open with a keynote on European defence ambitions in light of a strained transatlatic relationship, followed by an in-depth exchange with the moderator and the audience.
The event will take place in English and a recording will be made available for later viewing.
