GRANTEE REPORT: Delphi’s Eurasia Policy & NATO Reach

Direct Policy Impact: From Analysis to NATO Headquarters

In just twelve months, the Delphi Global Research Center has transformed from a bold new initiative into a pivotal voice in Euro-Atlantic security. Backed by a strategic grant from the DT Institute to build collaborative research capacity, Delphi Global has proven that agility and focus can rival the output of far larger, established think tanks. 

Since launching in July last year, Delphi has published 58 reports and articles, delivering critical new insights across a vast array of Eurasian hotspots. From Russia-China geostrategic competition in Africa and Arctic security dynamics to the frontlines in Ukraine and the South Caucasus, we directly inform high-level policy spaces like NATO, as well as democratize access to this high-quality analysis for anyone interested in the complex dynamics we study. 

Delphi’s impact is also evidenced by two major ongoing projects for the US government: a US European Command-sponsored study on Russia-China relations in Africa and a Defense Security Cooperation University field study on Ukraine’s use of US military assistance, including field research in Ukraine, Germany, and Poland. Moreover, with 19 of its 33 Fellows hailing from Eurasia and partnerships established with nine local research organizations, Delphi’s commitment to platforming regional voices is rock-solid.  

Scaling Crisis Management Education Across Borders

Nowhere is this impact more tangible than in the International Crisis Management course. Originally conceived to provide educational continuity for Ukrainian students after Russia’s invasion disrupted in-person learning, the program has rapidly expanded its initial scope. Now in its fifth run, the free online course engages with 150 students per session hailing from over a dozen countries. Partnering with The George Washington University, Delphi provides certified training that empowers the next generation of leaders to navigate complex global threats. 

Cultivating the Next Generation of Euro-Atlantic Leaders

Beyond publications and education, Delphi is cultivating future talent through the inaugural Statecraft and Imagination Fellowship  a six-month program including a residency in Washington, DC, for young Ukrainian leaders to build capacity to navigate complex geopolitical dynamics.
