The Berlin Congress on Resilient Democracy brings together experts from the security and defence sectors, academia, education, politics, local government, public authorities and organisations with security responsibilities, as well as the media and civil society. Together, they are committed to strengthening democratic structures and tackling challenges such as extremism, disinformation and cyber threats. The aim is to develop effective strategies for protecting and promoting democracy through interdisciplinary collaboration and a diverse range of perspectives.
