Visit from the Austrian Ministry of Defense to the Center for Crisis Early Warning (CCEW)

29 February 2024

On February 27th, the CCEW welcomed visitors from Austria. Representatives from the Department of Defense Policy and Strategy of the Ministry of Defense (MoD) delved into the world of CCEW.

The Austrian delegation received a comprehensive overview, including the objectives, research approaches, and focal points of the CCEW. The MoD's presentation focused on methods of strategic foresight and risk analysis within the context of Austrian defense policy. Emphasis was placed on the department that pursues a cross-departmental approach, thereby encompassing potential collaborations with other ministries.

In alignment with the holistic approach of the Ministry of Defense and CCEW, we express our sincere gratitude for the visit and the contribution to national cooperation.
