About this Event

Experts and panel discussion. Since the Russian invasion of Ukraine, there have been many incidents in European countries which their governments and experts consider to be a hybrid war on Europe. There have been attacks on critical infrastructure, incursions into EU states by drones or planes, often having major disruptive effect. Along with this, there have been efforts to influence change public opinion through a whole range of methods, including disinformation campaigns, and bribery.

This event will feature talks from leading experts from Poland and Germany on the extent of the campaign, and how Europe can respond. There will be a panel discussion led by leading journalist Allan Little, who has had widespread experience and knowledge of Central, Eastern, and South-Eastern Europe. He has won many awards including Amnesty International Reporter of the Year (1992), Sony Documentary Gold Award in 2000, and the Charles Wheeler Award for Outstanding Contribution to Broadcast Journalism (2012).

This event is supported by the Consulate-General of the Republic of Poland in Edinburgh.
