Helsinki Security Forum 2025 Youth Delegate Program

The Helsinki Security Forum (HSF) 2025 is once again opening its doors to bright young minds from across the globe. This fully funded Youth Delegate Program gives aspiring leaders, researchers, and professionals under the age of 30 a chance to participate in one of Europe’s most prestigious security gatherings.

If you are passionate about foreign policy, defence, or international security, this is your chance to engage with world leaders and experts while representing the voice of youth.

About the Helsinki Security Forum 2025

The Helsinki Security Forum is an annual high-level event that brings together global decision-makers, academics, and practitioners to discuss Europe’s future in the face of shifting geopolitics.

In 2025, the forum will take place in Helsinki, Finland from 19 to 21 September with the theme “The Hour of Europe.” This theme highlights Europe’s role in navigating today’s global security challenges and finding new strategies for the future.

For youth delegates, this means not only attending sessions but actively contributing to discussions that matter.
