Programme

The framework of the program of the Europe Forum 2024 will be announced at the turn of May-June and will be supplemented throughout the summer.

Safety will be the central theme of discussion at this year’s Europe Forum, as influential figures and political, financial and research experts gather in Turku to discuss the current challenges faced by Finland and Europe between 28 August and 30 August 2024. The Europe Forum will be opened by Prime Minister Petteri Orpo.

The three-day event will offer a broad range of perspectives on the security theme, focusing on topics such as geopolitical safety, sustainability and economic safety.

“We have returned to the basics of European integration: promoting peace and defending our values. This year’s theme of securing a safe future fits well with this idea”, says Prime Minister Petteri Orpo.

“The Europe Forum in Turku is the most important arena for the Finnish EU debate. Strengthening the public debate on EU matters is especially important in these times, when the security situation in Europe has tightened and we have giant projects like the green and digital transition in front of us”, emphasizes the mayor of Turku, Minna Arve.

The organiser of the event reserves the right to possible changes in scheduling and the programme.
