The EU-Ukraine Partnership Program at the Transatlantic Dialogue Center drives practical collaboration between Ukraine and key European and transatlantic partners, including the EU and the United States. Our work centers on political and security research, with a particular focus on defense procurement, joint capability development, and Ukraine’s future integration into European and Euro-Atlantic institutions.

Through direct engagement with policymakers, defense officials, and expert communities, we aim to inform and shape strategic conversations on Ukraine’s role in the regional and global security architecture. From EU defense market access and regulatory harmonization to joint US-EU-Ukraine initiatives in arms procurement and technology sharing, the program tackles the complex political and strategic questions surrounding Ukraine’s path toward EU membership and broader transatlantic integration.

The German-Ukrainian Partnership Program serves as a strategic bridge connecting Ukraine and Germany across multiple sectors, including political dialogue, economic cooperation, civil society engagement, and defense. Through comprehensive research, advocacy, and direct engagement, the program works to deepen bilateral relations and advance shared interests between both nations.

Our work centers on providing expert consultation to decision-makers in Ukraine and Germany, developing evidence-based policy recommendations, and implementing targeted advocacy initiatives to support them. The program produces specialized resources, including practical handbooks designed to equip parliamentarians and civil society representatives with the tools needed for effective international communication on Ukrainian affairs.

The program maintains active partnerships with a diverse ecosystem of stakeholders across Ukraine, Germany, and German-speaking regions. Our network encompasses leading media organizations, research institutions, elected officials at national and regional levels, government ministries, and influential civil society groups. This broad coalition enables us to amplify impact and ensure policy recommendations reach key decision-makers.

A cornerstone of our approach involves facilitating study missions to Ukraine for decision-makers, research professionals, youth leaders, and journalists. These immersive experiences provide participants with direct access to Ukrainian government representatives, political leaders, military officials, and civil society activists, fostering deeper understanding and stronger institutional relationships.

With permanent presence in both Kyiv and Berlin, the program maintains a unique capacity for real-time engagement and localized outreach. This enables us to organize impactful events, facilitate cross-border dialogue, and maintain continuous contact with stakeholders in both countries, ensuring our initiatives remain responsive to evolving bilateral dynamics.

The Spain and Latin America Cooperation Program at the Transatlantic Dialogue Center works to strengthen dialogue and cooperation with the Spanish-speaking world, particularly in Spain, Argentina, Chile, and Uruguay.

The program works to deepen understanding and build partnerships through engagement with Spanish-language media, political think tanks, members of parliament, foreign ministries, and civil society organizations across the region. We provide up-to-date analytical materials and briefings on developments in Ukraine in Spanish language, support international discourse, and encourage fact-based reporting and policy discussion.

Our initiatives include organizing study visits to Ukraine for public officials, opinion leaders, journalists, bloggers, and researchers, offering them firsthand insights from civil society organizations, think tanks, and institutions into the realities in Ukraine.

We also conduct regular outreach missions to Spain and Latin American countries, engaging with local stakeholders through public forums, expert roundtables, and conferences aimed at strengthening international cooperation and countering disinformation.

To broaden our reach, we share updates and analysis via the TDC website and the program’s official channels on X (@TDC_ES) and Instagram (@tdcenter_es).

The US-Ukraine Partnership Program at the Transatlantic Dialogue Center is focused on advancing a resilient, long-term strategic alliance between Ukraine and the United States. Through high-level policy engagement, strategic advocacy, and evidence-based research, the program strengthens cooperation in critical areas—including security assistance, defense modernization, democratic resilience, and economic recovery.

We work closely with U.S. policymakers, Congressional offices, leading think tanks, and advocacy organizations to ensure that Ukraine remains a priority on the transatlantic agenda. Our team regularly convenes public and private events in both Washington and Kyiv, facilitating direct dialogue between Ukrainian and American decision-makers, analysts, and sector-specific experts.

By supporting a steady flow of information and analysis across the Atlantic, we help shape smarter, more coordinated policies on everything from defense procurement to reconstruction planning. Whether briefing offices on Capitol Hill or connecting Ukrainian officials with U.S. leaders, our efforts are aimed at preserving and deepening the strategic partnership between the two nations.
