The group brings together parliamentarians from eleven countries and regions around the Baltic Sea. Its mandate is to strengthen the region's collective capacity to address cyber threats, disinformation, and the use of digital tools to undermine democratic processes. Over two years, the group will develop political recommendations reflecting the specific security environment of the Baltic Sea region. A first set of recommendations is expected to be adopted at the 35th BSPC Conference in Lübeck in late August 2026.
The Szczecin programme opens with a study visit to Autocomp Management, a local cybersecurity company, before the formal session convenes at the Marshal Office of the Westpomeranian Region. Four Polish experts will present on disinformation and foreign information manipulation, cybersecurity policy, Russian hybrid threats, and cyber crisis management — drawing on the region's specific experience and threat landscape.
In the afternoon, members turn to the group's political work: advancing recommendations on cyber and information resilience that may inform BSPC policy positions later this year.
The Working Group was established at the 34th BSPC Conference in Mariehamn in August 2025 and operates under a two-year mandate.
