HSF 2024 addresses the need for European total defence
As the global security landscape continues to turn increasingly volatile, Helsinki Security Forum 2024 will convene in Helsinki on 27–29 September, providing a pivotal platform for international dialogue on foreign and security policy.
HSF 2024 discusses different elements of security that are also part of Finland’s model of total defence. Comprehensive national security strategies and preparedness can be useful on a European level, says Kukka-Maria Kovsky, HSF Conference Director.
“Finland’s is a forerunner in building resilience and preparedness. At HSF 2024, we want to highlight this approach and the expertise of FIIA researchers and Finnish experts.”
