The City of Rostock will host the Crisis Management Conference on 10-12 September 2025.

The conference is a part of the “Connecting Resilient Cities” project, a collaboration between the UBC and the International City Network for Crisis Management. The main aim of this initiative is to strengthen European crisis preparedness. Supported by the EU CERV Programme, the project encourages cities to share expertise and develop joint strategies. Previous workshops were held in Vienna, addressing energy shortages and in Liepāja on topic of effective stakeholder communication during crises.

From September 10^th to 12^th , 2025, the City of Rostock will host the project’s final event. Participants will experience Germany’s nationwide Warning Day, gaining insights into digital and analogue crisis communication between authorities and citizens. The participants will have the opportunity to discuss essential crisis knowledge for residents to ensure swift responses to crises from their side.

A highlight of the Rostock event will be a boat trip from the Rostock City Harbour to the Baltic Sea. This scenic journey will provide a platform to discuss the unique challenges faced by Baltic Sea municipalities and potential collaborative solutions.
