Crisis Management NOW 2026

This year, Finland celebrates seventy years of engagement in international crisis management. The Ministry for Foreign Affairs, together with its partners, will organise an event highlighting crisis management and peacebuilding on Tuesday, 5 May at the University of Helsinki.

Crisis Management NOW – Serving peace 70 years and beyond

The event brings together experts, practitioners and decision‑makers to reflect on the evolution of comprehensive crisis management and to chart the course for the future. Actors from development cooperation and humanitarian aid will also take part.

The day’s programme includes topical panel discussions, expert talks and interactive workshops.

If you’re interested in international crisis management roles, you can speak with field personnel and receive guidance on how to apply. At the exhibition stands, you can learn about the work of various actors involved in crisis management.
