Resilient Europe: Best practices from across the continent in building resilient societ

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.

The "Resilient Europe" conference held in Prague in October 2024 gathered leading experts, policymakers, and stakeholders from across Europe to share insights, best practices, and challenges faced in countering these threats.

This policy paper distills the core insights from the conference under three primary categories: hybrid threats, information manipulation in the digital space, and strategic communication. These categories encompass a broad range of actions taken by European nations and institutions to safeguard democratic resilience, and this paper further identifies the most pressing challenges and opportunities for future efforts.
