Kiel Security Conference 2024 - Sicherheit – Innovation – Demokratie
Fachkonferenz
Details
The Kiel Security Conference focuses on security policy issues in the Baltic region and the High North. Security dynamics in the Baltic have been profoundly affected by Russia’s war of aggression against Ukraine, while political and military tensions – and increasing capabilities – are also sharpening focus on the High North. As a result, NATO’s posture needs to be adjusted and littoral states need to modernise their military capabilities, across all domains. This conference will focus on the political, military and security implications for Baltic littoral states and the EU and NATO.
