Riga Security Forum aims to gather key international policymakers, industry leaders, as well as military and civilian experts to discuss events, trends, opportunities, and challenges lying ahead for the international community. In various formats, we will discuss both "conventional" security dimension, including the question such as European security environment, transatlantic security, relations with Russia, and China's growing influence, as well as  2) "unconventional" security challenges, such as climate change, technological development, gender, information warfare, etc.


Every week, from October until December, we will provide you with a brand new podcast session in audio and video format, both in English and Latvian. Listen to our podcasts here, on our social media accounts, YouTube, Spotify, and Apple Podcast platforms.
