Date: 30 June 2026
Time: 09:00–13:00
Registration: Available below
As Europe faces an increasingly complex and rapidly evolving security environment, advances in Artificial Intelligence, autonomous systems, and human-machine teaming are transforming the future of defence. These technologies offer significant opportunities to enhance operational effectiveness, situational awareness, and decision-making, while also raising important strategic, technical, and ethical challenges.
This half-day seminar will bring together representatives from European institutions, defence organisations, research centres, and industry to explore the role of autonomous systems and human-machine teaming in strengthening European defence capabilities.
The programme will feature policy and strategic perspectives on the future of European defence, discussions on emerging challenges and opportunities associated with autonomous systems, and presentations of innovative technologies ranging from cutting-edge research to operational deployment. Participants will have the opportunity to exchange views with experts from across the European defence and research ecosystem and gain insights into the latest developments shaping the future battlefield.
The event is intended for policymakers, researchers, technology developers, defence stakeholders, and industry representatives interested in the evolving relationship between humans and intelligent systems in defence applications.
