The European Union Strategy for the Baltic Sea Region (EUSBSR) will hold its Annual Forum on 29 to 31 October 2024. The welcome address and core plenary sessions will be live-streamed at the EUSBSR website, and the final programme is available on the event page.

This year, the Swedish Government and the Nordic Council of Ministers are hosting the Annual Forum in Visby on the island of Gotland, Sweden, welcoming 650 participants from over 20 countries. The overall themes for the forum are sustainability, resilience and security.  

The programme offers

  • three live-streamed plenary dialogues, covering
    • bioeconomy
    • transportation 
    • energy 
  • 27 in-depth workshops and seminars

The EU Strategy for the Baltic Sea Region is an agreement between the European Commission and the eight EU member states bordering the Baltic Sea. Today, societal challenges are more complex than ever and call for more targeted solutions. These solutions are often difficult to implement solely on a local, regional or even national level. That is where the EU Strategy for the Baltic Sea Region comes in, as it offers cross-sectorial, multilevel and international collaboration. This allows us to build closer collaborative practices in Europe, helping us make better use of our combined resources.
