The rapidly evolving digital landscape has further cemented the significance of cyber diplomacy in international relations. Cybersecurity and digitalisation are pivotal in diplomatic discussions, addressing challenges such as state-sponsored cyber operations, cybercrime, and the strategic impacts of emerging technologies like AI. The need for cohesive international collaboration and governance has never been more critical.

Co-organised by the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of Estonia (MFA), e-Governance Academy (eGA), and Estonian Centre for International Development (ESTDEV), the fifth edition of The Tallinn Summer School of Cyber Diplomacy will explore these essential themes, providing a platform for diplomats and policymakers to enhance their understanding and skills in navigating the complex cyber domain. Building on the success of previous years, this event continues to foster a secure, resilient, and open cyberspace. Supported and funded by the European Commission, Directorate-General for International Partnerships (INTPA), this five-day event is designed for diplomats and policymakers tackling complex cyber issues.

The aim of the Summer School is to strengthen international commitment to a rights-based, open, free, stable, safe, and secure cyberspace that fully reflects core EU values of democracy, human rights, and the rule of law.
