Comprehensive security best practices: How can the EU and NATO work better together?

In the context of new politico-institutional cycle of the EU and considering President Niinistö’s report on EU civil and military preparedness, the objective of the event is to approach security in the broadest sense of the word, encompassing a full spectrum of threats involving military contingencies, hybrid threats and natural disasters.

This hybrid Conference will share best practice examples by bringing the perspectives of Estonian, Finnish and Swedish agencies, representatives of the EU, NATO and the academia.

Ms Henna Virkkunen, European Commission Executive Vice-President for Tech Sovereignty, Security and Democracy, and Ambassador Jean-Charles Ellermann-Kingombe, NATO’s Assistant Secretary General for Innovation, Hybrid, and Cyber, will deliver opening and closing remarks respectively, and share EU’s and NATO’s perspectives on comprehensive security.

This event is organised jointly by three entities, including the EPC, Elisabeth Rehn - Bank of Ideas, and Hanaholmen – Swedish-Finnish Cultural Centre.
