BSSSC Day of Cities and Regions: Registration is open!
Breaking Down the Silos in Baltic Sea Region Cooperation on 28 October 2025 in Sopot & Gdańsk, Poland
On 28 October 2025, regional and local actors and other stakehoders from across the Baltic Sea Region will come together in Sopot, Poland for the annual BSSSC Day of Cities and Regions – the flagship event of the Baltic Sea Subregional States Cooperation (BSSSC). Set against the scenic backdrop of the Baltic Sea coast, the event offers a full day of networking, dialogue, and collaboration.
This year’s theme – Breaking Down the Silos in Baltic Sea Region Cooperation – puts a spotlight on the need for stronger links between policy areas, governance levels, and regions. It aims to foster integrated approaches to common challenges, from security and resilience to youth engagement and future funding structures.

The programme includes a dynamic mix of:
Interactive sessions exploring multilevel governance in practice
A Future Lab on shaping the next Interreg BSR programme
High-level political dialogue on regional security and cooperation
Youth perspectives on current challenges and future visions

Participants can expect moderated discussions, informal networking, and co-creation formats designed to bridge gaps between institutions and sectors.
