U.S.-CREST’s mission is to promote public understanding of the far reaching interactions between international relations, defense, trade, science and technology.
U.S.-CREST’s central goal is to provide the United States with perspective and analysis of the European viewpoint and vice-versa.

U.S.- CREST’s research and study programs cover:
U.S.-CREST seeks to interact with other think tanks involved in transatlantic defense and security both in Washington and in Europe such as the Center for Strategic and International Studies (CSIS), the Atlantic Council, the "Fondation pour la Recherche Stratégique" in France and the Royal United Services Institute in the United-Kingdom.
