Tallinn Summer School of Cyber Diplomacy 2023

The fourth Tallinn Summer School of Cyber Diplomacy took place from 12-16 June 2023. The five-day event was intended for diplomats shaping the challenging agenda of international cyber policy and for government officials interested in cyber topics.

Rapid digital developments have altered all areas of society. Therefore, digitalization and cybersecurity have become an important part of diplomacy and international cooperation focusing on the rights and duties of states in cyberspace, while ensuring Internet freedom and security.

Cyber operations have become an integral part of armed conflict. Therefore, there is a growing need to understand how international law safeguards countries and societies striving to sustain their way of life. All these issues were addressed during the Tallinn Summer School of Cyber Diplomacy.

The Summer School hosted cyber diplomats and internationally distinguished cyber experts from the private sector, academia, and civil society.

The event was organized by the EU Directorate-General for International Partnerships (INTPA), the Ministry of Foreign Affairs (MFA), the e-Governance Academy (eGA), and the Estonian Center for International Development (ESTDEV).
