In recent years, Europe has encountered a growing array of threats stemming from Russian malign influence, information interference, and hybrid warfare tactics that seek to destabilize democratic institutions, undermine public trust, and exploit societal vulnerabilities.
At "Resilient Europe" conference, organized by the Center for Informed Society in cooperation with the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, the Association for International Affairs and EUROPEUM Institute in Prague in October 2024, brought together leading experts, policy-makers and other actors from across Europe to share insights, best practices and the challenges they face in tackling these threats.
This publication summarizes the main findings of the conference into three main categories: hybrid threats, information manipulation in digital space and strategic communication. These categories encompass the wide range of measures taken by European states and institutions to ensure democratic resilience, and this paper further identifies the most pressing challenges and opportunities for future efforts.
