Comparing Notes Between Finland and Taiwan: Disinformation and Hybrid Threats

These topics will be explored on 21 May 2026 in a seminar organized together by the Department of East Asian Studies at the University of Turku and TurkuSec.

📅 Thursday, 21 May 2026
🕐 13:00–16:00
📍 Publicum (Pub 1), University of Turku

This seminar brings together experts in diplomacy, hybrid threats, and cybersecurity research to discuss contemporary challenges related to disinformation, societal resilience, and cyber and hybrid threats. Drawing on perspectives from Taiwan and Finland, the seminar addresses practical and analytical approaches to countering disinformation, understanding hybrid threat activity, and examining the role of emerging technologies such as AI in shaping information environments.

Speakers include Taiwan’s Representative to Finland, Freddy Lim, as well as experts from the European Centre of Excellence for Countering Hybrid Threats (Hybrid CoE), the Finnish Defence Forces, and the University of Turku. Also speaking will be TurkuSec’s very own Ismayil Hasanov! 💪

Welcome to join us. See you in Turku!

The event is open to everyone, but unfortunately remote participation will not be available.

TurkuSec is part of the Community Village at DisObey!

Swing by and grab the mic at Security Impress Karaoke, where cyber security meets stage confidence 😉 whether you sing it seriously or completely off‑key is part of the charm.

If you’d rather break things than belts, try your skills at the Hacking LLMs Challenge and see how well you can twist, probe, and outsmart modern AI systems. Curious about the darker side of the internet? Our Intro to Cybercrime sessions unpack how real-world operations actually function, from ecosystem to execution.
