AGENCE EUROPE

The European Defence Agency is the place to go for European defence cooperation. The Agency supports the European Council and the Member States in their effort to improve the European Union’s defence capabilities through cooperative projects and programmes.
The experts work on the basis of a new approach that draws together the whole defence spectrum, tailoring its work to the military needs of tomorrow, providing different and often innovative solutions.
Since its foundation in 2004, the EDA and its participating Member States have launched important projects, boosting Pooling & Sharing of capabilities in areas such as Counter-IED, maritime surveillance, cyber defence, Air-to-Air Refuelling or helicopter availability, to name but a few. At the same time, the Agency concentrates on advancing enablers for cooperation like standardisation and certification; it also conducts research & technology projects, works on initiatives in support of the European defence industry, and advances an innovative dual-use approach.
EDA is pragmatic, cost effective and results oriented. It offers multinational solutions in a time where capability gaps can often not be closed by single Member States alone.
