We are fast approaching the fifth edition of the 3Seas Congress, one of the most important events dedicated to cooperation between the regions of Central and Eastern Europe.

During the Congress, we will be summarising the 10th anniversary of the Three Seas Initiative, analysing the prospects for its further development, as well as looking at the role of the European Union in this cooperation and key challenges, such as multimodal transport in Central Europe.

As part of the scientific path organized by KUL, Polish and foreign universities and research centers will address the subject of education and cooperation as values connecting regions. They will consider how to effectively use the potential of the ERASMUS + program for the future of the Three Seas, and will also talk about artificial intelligence in medicine and health care, analyzing its opportunities, challenges and prospects.

The Economic Forum will feature thematic sessions, including Feminine Lubelskie, showing the role of women and their impact on regional development; Artificial Intelligence and the Economy – the impact of modern technologies on the development of enterprises; Internationalization of SMEs – opportunities for small and medium-sized enterprises in the context of the World EXPO in Osaka.

There will also be debates on culture, security, and the reconstruction of Ukraine led by regional leaders and experts.
In the face of dynamic geopolitical changes and global challenges, dialogue and exchange of ideas are now more important than ever. Therefore, we invite all interested parties to participate in discussions that will shape the future of our region.

The 6th edition of the Three Seas Local Government Congress will take place May 27-28, 2026, in Lublin. It is a forum that brings together the visions, experience, and potential of the Central and Eastern European countries.

The Three Seas Local Government Congress is a prestigious international event organised by the Lubelskie Voivodeship. The Congress serves as a platform for cooperation among 13 countries of the Three Seas Initiative and associated members (Ukraine, Moldova, Albania, and Montenegro), focusing on infrastructure development, security, innovation, and cross-border cooperation. Over the past five editions, the Congress has gathered more than 5000 participants from over 25 countries, including representatives of governments, local and regional authorities, business, and academia. The event is held under the Honorary Patronage of the President of the Republic of Poland. Representatives of more than 350 regions from the Three Seas Initiative are invited to attend the Congress. It is a multidimensional event. Its accompanying activities include the Economic Forum, a scientific session of the Three Seas Universities Network, and the 3Seas Youth Forum. The upcoming edition of the Congress will be expanded to include a Security Forum addressed to local governments from the Three Seas region.

The Economic Forum comprehensively supports the offer of SMEs from the Lubelskie Voivodeship. Its aim is to create conditions for the development of entrepreneurship and investor services, as well as to build lasting economic relationships and facilitate the exchange of experience and inspiration in the field of the economy. Topics addressed during the Forum will include, among others: Feminine Lubelskie, Innovation, entrepreneurship (B2B Zone / Exhibition Zone), the 20th anniversary of Marka Lubelskie, and international cooperation. The Economic Forum is a unique platform for networking, signing agreements, and presenting technologies and solutions that create real opportunities for regional economic cooperation in times of global tension.

The Security Forum is a key accompanying event of the Three Seas Local Government Congress, dedicated to challenges and opportunities in the broadly understood field of security for regions involved in the Network of the Three Seas Regions project. At its core is the exchange of experience and the building of cooperation among local governments, organizations, experts, and business representatives from the 13 countries of the Three Seas Initiative. Topics discussed during the Forum will include, among others: local resilience, health and social security, protection of critical infrastructure, cybersecurity, and the role of local governments in crisis response. The co-organiser of the Security Forum is Defence24.
