On 19 May 2026, #AIES and Austrian Defence Lab hosted the scenario workshop "Ready for 2029” as part of the Forum Wachau 🇪🇺🇦🇹 📌 The workshop was the second event of the series, following a private event held in early May. It aimed to examine the security policy landscape of Europe up to 2029 through multiple scenarios and critically assess their plausibility. The scenarios were specifically designed to stimulate structured discussions, covering key questions of European defence capability, potential political developments, the war against Ukraine, and possible conflicts in the Indo-Pacific.
