Together with the Ministry of Foreign and European Affairs of the Republic of Slovenia, CEP annually organises Bled Strategic Forum (BSF).

Bled Strategic Forum is the leading international conference in Central and South-Eastern Europe, offering an inclusive platform to address Europe’s key challenges of the 21st century. It brings together a diverse structure of stakeholders from diplomacy, politics, business, private and public sectors, and academia. 

Back in 2006, when the first BSF took place, it was established as a once-a-year conference. Since then, BSF has grown and continues growing with the help of its international partners into a global platform for generating ideas and exchanging views on contemporary society and its future. It is committed to creating a sustainable world by offering strategic views and solutions to the most pressing issues of today and tomorrow.

As a platform of inclusivity and diversity it strives to bring together as many different stakeholders as possible and disseminate their views through events, discussions, roundtables, projects, analyses and publications.

YOUNG BSF

CEP is the main organiser of the Young Bled Strategic Forum (Young BSF).

Young Bled Strategic Forum is a participant-driven platform where bright young minds from around the world come together to share ideas and find inspiration to improve their communities.

We believe that understanding the how and why behind contemporary social phenomena is an indispensable prerequisite for making the world a better place.

Drawing on this fundamental belief, Young Bled Strategic Forum offers an environment where social problems can be broken down to their most basic building blocks around which tailored solutions can then be designed.

A safe space, an open stage, a laboratory, a testing ground – we hope to offer all of these and more.
