Center for Geoeconomics and Resilience

Conducts data-driven research to advance two connected priorities: increasing economic pressure on Russia and strengthening Ukraine’s economic resilience and prospects for recovery. Bringing together expertise in sanctions and macroeconomic analysis, the Center monitors developments, identifies emerging risks and opportunities, and develops practical recommendations to shape policy decisions in Ukraine and partner countries.

Established in October 2025, the Center is funded by the Government of Denmark.
