Security Challenges in the Baltic Region

The current international security situation, including Russia's ongoing war in Ukraine, poses numerous significant internal and external threats to the security of the Baltic region. Latgale is a strategically important region of Latvia. However, as a border region, it faces higher challenges in areas such as information security, migration, radicalization, and border security.

Seminar Objectives and Discussion Topics

The aim of the seminar is to promote discussions on security enhancement opportunities and to share the latest solutions that contribute to more effective protection against internal and external threats.

Participants will have the opportunity to gain valuable insights, expand their knowledge, and engage in discussions with industry professionals. During the event, RSU researchers and experts will address key threat types and solutions in areas such as public security, political security, national defense, cybersecurity, and information security.

Participation in the seminar is free of charge, but prior registration is required due to the limited number of seats. Registration is open until February 19.

All interested parties are invited to participate in the seminar and join discussions on solutions for strengthening security in Latvia and the Latgale region!

The seminar is organized within the framework of the regional seminar cycle under the grant No. RSU-PAG-2024/1-0015 Prevention of Security Threats and Risks in Political, Defense, Public, Socio-Economic, and Information Environments (the project RSU Internal and RSU & LSPA External Consolidation (No. 5,2,1,1.i.0/2/24/I/CFLA/005) is funded under the EU Recovery and Resilience Facility and the national budget).
