BE-SEDEP (2026) (115,000 euro)

Principal Investigator, with KU Leuven

BE-SEDEP develops a rigorous, data-driven framework to measure Belgium's strategic economic dependencies within the EU's Open Strategic Autonomy agenda. Working with FPS Economy and the European Commission, the project combines detailed trade and production data with input-output analysis and network metrics to build improved indicators that go beyond current EC methodologies. The result is a quantitative toolbox that allows policymakers to identify critical supply chain vulnerabilities, assess substitutability, and simulate the effects of geopolitical shocks or policy interventions.
