About this report
The formal adoption of the 2026 Work Programme for the European Defence Fund on December 17, 2025, represents a significant leap in the Union’s commitment to addressing non-conventional and high-tech security threats.
By focusing on Chemical, Biological, Radiological, and Nuclear (CBRN) protection and the broader realm of Disruptive Technologies, the European Commission is establishing a new paradigm for human resilience on the battlefield. This seventh report explores the strategic integration of molecular-scale research with operational military requirements to counter invisible yet catastrophic risks.
