Security and defence issues are increasingly central in an era of heightened geopolitical uncertainty. Eurasia\u2014from Greenland to China\u2014has emerged as a critical pivot of global security dynamics. This conference examines key developments across Eurasia that directly affect Canada\u2019s strategic interests in 2026.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Russia\u2019s ongoing war against Ukraine, intensifying great-power competition in the Arctic, the Caucasus, and Central Asia, and the U.S. foreign policy uncertainty continue to reshape the security landscape. As an Arctic state and NATO member, Canada faces evolving military, strategic, and hybrid threats, including disinformation. Bringing together scholars and practitioners, the conference explores regional trends and assesses the challenges and opportunities facing Canada and Eurasia alike.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
