Security Radar 2025 Europe: Lost in Geopolitics?

Join us on Tuesday, December 2, 2025, for an event co-organised by Friedrich Ebert Stiftung in cooperation with Centre for European Perspective, the Euro-Atlantic Council of Slovenia, and the Faculty of Social Sciences, University of Ljubljana.

How have security perceptions changed in countries inside and outside of NATO since the Russian invasion of Ukraine in 2022? This is the core question of the “Security Radar”, a multi-annual research project which is regularly presented at the Munich Security Conference. The aim of the Security Radar is to provide a realistic picture of public perception regarding current geopolitical challenges and security threats. It also surveys what political responses people in Europe and beyond consider necessary in relation to the war and other urgent issues in the realm of European security.

In the scope of our discussion round, we want to explore how the changing trends in security perception are reflected in Slovenia: Has the public mood shifted towards greater readiness to defend NATO territory, or are Slovenians still more reluctant than other citizens of NATO member states, for example when looking at increased defence spending? We will discuss Slovenia’s (perhaps) special position in the newly emerging NATO defence architecture with high-ranking experts from the field of foreign and security policy – and together with you!

Date: Tuesday, December 2, 2025.
Venue: Faculty of Social Sciences Ljubljana, Kardeljeva ploščad 5, Lecture hall 3.
