About the workshop - NATO SPS supported Workshop

The Advanced Research Workshop Resilience as a Deterrence Strategy: Towards a Comprehensive Security Panorama is organized by the University of Eastern Finland and sponsored by NATO’s Science for Peace and Security Programme.

The workshop provides a forum for scientists and experts to share their experience and knowledge, address contemporary security challenges and support NATO’s strategic objectives. The workshop will identify directions for future actions to address the multiplicity of security challenges for Europe and NATO posed by Russia in conventional and hybrid realms. Increasing awareness of hybrid warfare, Russian deceptive thinking, and appropriate counter measures is essential for tomorrow’s decision-makers, strategic leaders, state authorities, and the citizens alike.

The workshop will enable a more nuanced understanding of security that considers perceptual and socially communicated geopolitical risks. It will examine to what extent direct security-oriented decisions and measures actually make people feel safer. In particular, crises can have a profound impact on the ways citizens experience security in their everyday lives. Accordingly, this calls for the exploration of links between ontological and physical security. The workshop will elaborate a holistic, multi-layered approach to security that captures the current security developments, to enhance early warning, preparedness and resilience, and shift transnational political contexts and common NATO-level concerns – all of which interact and underline the need to properly address also the human and social aspects of security related to NATO’s Strategic Objectives.
