European Approaches to the Indo-Pacific

* What kind of approaches have Italy's main EU partners with Indo-Pacific strategies, i.e., France and Germany, pursued and how effective have their Indo-Pacific focused activities been?
* Are there any lessons Italy should draw from France and Germany's Indo-Pacific engagement?
* Should Italy adopt a formal Indo-Pacific strategy?
* Does the EU strategy need an updated strategy for cooperation with the Indo-Pacific?

The project proceeds in four steps:
1. Workshop in Paris in January 2026 to discuss individual contributions to policy report.
2. Finalisation of individual contributions by late April 2026.
3. Closed-door meeting with Italian diplomats in Rome in late May to present findings and discuss recommendations.
4. Open-access policy report published by T.wai in late June 2026.
