This legislative proposal requires the Under Secretary of State for Political Affairs to develop and submit a comprehensive strategy within 180 days of enactment. The strategy aims to identify, evaluate, and mitigate risks to United States foreign policy interests stemming from relationships between European institutions of higher education or research and certain covered entities of concern . These relationships encompass academic, financial, research, governance, data-sharing, and other direct or indirect ties. The required strategy must include an assessment of the scale and activities of these entities in Europe, disaggregated by country, and evaluate the national security risks they pose to the U.S. and its European allies. It also mandates recommendations for bilateral and multilateral diplomatic engagement to mitigate these identified risks. Covered entities of concern are broadly defined, primarily targeting organizations linked to the People's Republic of China, including those involved in military-civil fusion, talent recruitment programs, or malign influence operations, as well as those implicated in human rights abuses like the persecution of Uyghur Muslims.
