According to PSCE Europe, areas where the project “directly aligns” with European Commission security objectives include strengthening crisis communication capability, integrating “hybrid threats” into planning scenarios, and developing a European crisis management architecture.
Discussing the project, a spokesperson said: “The European Commission, under the leadership of President Ursula von der Leyen, has published its new security strategy for the European Union (2025-2027), and we are honoured to be explicitly mentioned.
“This official recognition underscores the strategic importance of our initiative within the European security landscape. EUCCS stands at the intersection of priorities defined in the security strategy [ProtectEU] and the newly adopted EU Preparedness Strategy.
“This is aimed at strengthening the European Union's collective resilience against hybrid, natural, or intentional threats.”
The spokesperson continued: “The EUCCS project embodies the European Union's desire to make Europe a security community, based on innovation, cooperation, and technological sovereignty. It contributes to making Europe a stronger and more resilient global actor in the face of hybrid threats, geopolitical crises, and increasing cyber risks.”
Coordinator of the EUCCS Preparation programme at PSCE Europe, David Lund, said: “Being identified as a key item to strengthen EU security capabilities in the European Union's Internal Security strategy is a strong signal. EUCCS embodies a concrete response to European ambitions in terms of resilience, digital sovereignty, and the protection of European citizens.”
EUCCS Preparation is an EU-funded program, previously known as BroadEU.Net.
