Value proposition

We deliver policy support, analysis & outreach to promote international cooperation on cyber diplomacy

The EU Cyber Diplomacy Initiative supports the European Union’s cyber diplomacy and international digital engagements in order to strengthen the rules-based order in cyberspace and build cyber resilient societies.

The project aims to increase the participation of different stakeholder groups in regional and global debates on responsible behaviour and resilience in cyberspace. It also identifies opportunities for increased convergence between the EU and other stakeholders on the application of existing international law in cyberspace and the development of cyber norms.

This is achieved through policy support, research, outreach, multistakeholder cooperation, and capacity building in the field of cyber diplomacy.

The EU Cyber Diplomacy Initiative focuses on four key themes:

• conflict prevention and advancing responsible behaviour in cyberspace through international law, norms, and confidence-building measures (CBMs),
• cyber resilience and critical infrastructure protection,
• cybercrime and criminal justice in cyberspace, and
• new and emerging technologies with a potentially disruptive effect.
