The conference aims to present the research findings of the team of experts from the Three Seas Initiative (3SI) participating states. The conference sets out to add to our knowledge of regional cooperation and discuss the current state of research in this area from various academic disciplines and national perspectives. The main research questions the contributors seek to answer revolve around the current state of knowledge on the 3SI and the reasons for the widely differing levels of interest in this form of regional cooperation. What are the main sources of knowledge about the 3SI, what is the state of the knowledge on the 3SI, and what are the methods of acquiring knowledge about the 3SI in their countries? The conference will make a significant contributions to the development of regional cooperation as an incentive to create a new scientific facet of the 3SI, which is strongly needed in Central and Eastern Europe to enhance mutual understanding and improve communication. Additionally, it is essential to highlight the role of science diplomacy as a component in strategic communication between the states in times of war and peace.
