Strategic fronts of Europe

11:00- 12:00, Sala główna

Today, the eastern border of the European Union and NATO is of critical importance to the security of the entire continent. It is here that the consequences of geopolitical shifts are felt most acutely. This panel will open a strategic debate on the role border regions must play within the new European security architecture.

Key Discussion Points:

  • How can states situated along the EU’s eastern border better coordinate their actions in response to geopolitical pressure and emerging threats?

  • How do we shift the paradigm regarding the EU’s eastern border—transforming it from a high-risk periphery into Europe’s strategic asset?

  • How can we develop international cooperation that engages regions in complex geopolitical neighbourhoods along the EU’s eastern flank?

  • What role can the Declaration of Regions in Complex Neighbourhoods play in shaping EU policies post-2027?

Why Attend?

This is the most important session for stakeholders invested in geopolitics, security, and the future strategic role of border regions within the European Union.
