During the Cold War, the Estonian World Council’s (EWC / ÜEKN) focus was to support the struggle for the freedom of Estonia and the other Baltic States. Now, their focus is on addressing present and emerging security risks in the Baltic Sea region.

The conference aims to provide valuable insights and discussions on safeguarding freedom and security in the Baltic Sea region.
