Tallinn Summer School of Cyber Diplomacy
Duration
September 2024 - August 2029
The fifth Cyber Diplomacy Summer School takes place November 11-15, 2024
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.
Key Project Components:
- Five-day Tallinn Summer School of Cyber Diplomacy equips diplomats and officials with essential skills to navigate international cyber stability frameworks. Co-organized by the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of Estonia (MFA), e-Governance Academy (eGA), and the Estonian Centre for International Development (ESTDEV), the fifth edition will focus on the importance of cyber diplomacy in global relations. It provides a platform for diplomats and policymakers to deepen their understanding and capabilities in the cyber domain. Building on the success of previous years, the Summer School fosters a secure, resilient, and open cyberspace. Supported and funded by the European Commission’s Directorate-General for International Partnerships (INTPA), this five-day event is tailored to address the complex cyber challenges diplomats and policymakers face today. The goal is to strengthen international commitment to a rights-based, open, free, stable, safe, and secure cyberspace that aligns with core EU values of democracy, human rights, and the rule of law.
- Alumni Network: An ongoing community of Summer School graduates that encourages continuous collaboration and knowledge-sharing, helping to sustain and expand the global network of cyber diplomacy experts. This network fosters long-term connections, allowing participants to continue engaging with one another, share best practices, and collaborate on emerging cyber issues.
- Comprehensive Cybersecurity Tool (NCSI): The National Cyber Security Index is a vital resource providing accurate, up-to-date information on countries’ cybersecurity preparedness. To support national resilience, it focuses on measurable aspects, such as legislation, established units, cooperation formats, and outcomes. The NCSI strengthens democratic institutions by offering a clear picture of a country’s cyber capabilities and readiness, helping stakeholders identify areas for improvement. Regularly updated, it ensures that countries can benchmark their progress, adopt best practices, and address vulnerabilities effectively. The NCSI serves as a key tool in reinforcing the resilience of digital infrastructures globally.
- Cyber Capacity-Building Fellowship: This program is designed to develop skills and knowledge in global cyber frameworks, nurturing long-term expertise in cyber diplomacy. It focuses on enhancing the ability of junior and mid-level experts to understand new cyber challenges, including the impact of emerging technologies such as AI. The fellowship fosters international cooperation and knowledge transfer, building a network of informed professionals who can contribute to a secure and stable cyberspace.
