EPIC – Strategy for Europe Programme

Rebuilding Europe’s strategic coherence through identity, systems, and power

What is the Strategy for Europe Programme?

EPIC starts from the premise that Europe’s crisis is systemic, not sectoral, and therefore requires integrated political, cultural, and economic thinking.

The Strategy for Europe program is a multi-year initiative that brings together researchers, policymakers, business leaders, and cultural voices to shape the next decade of European transformation through debate, publications, foresight, and public engagement.

We focus on three pillars:

1

European Interconnectedness – exploring not only what binds Europeans together culturally, historically, but how shared narratives affect legitimacy, solidarity, and political consent.
2

Competitive & Resilient Society – building a Europe capable of adapting and innovating under pressure, while avoiding fragmentation and translating innovation into strategic autonomy.
3

Europe’s Next Political Revolution – examining how governance, democratic authority, and power are being reconfigured in response to AI, demographic change, and geopolitical competition.

Europe has brilliant potential, but lacks the strategic coherence to make it work together.

Interconnectedness, competitiveness, and political architecture are treated as separate debates, when in reality they are parts of one system.

EPIC’s Strategy for Europe is the first program explicitly designed to address these dimensions as a single system.

It provides the missing ‘systems lens’ that Europe urgently needs.
