The Baltic University Programme (BUP) is pleased to invite researchers from BUP participating universities to participate in the upcoming Symposium on the theme ‘Strengthening the Security and Resilience of the Baltic Sea Region – Environmental, Political, Social, and Economic Shocks and Crises’, to be held on-site in Uppsala, Sweden, between 26-28 November 2025.

The Symposium is a platform where regional educational and research communities can come together and connect with colleagues from participating universities of the BUP. It serves as an arena to disseminate recent research, initiate new discussions, and foster future collaborations.

We will welcome 80 researchers from BUP participating universities, representing various disciplines with an interest in the Baltic Sea Region as an empirical field to discuss the Symposium’s core theme.
