The Foundation Institute for Eastern Studies (Instytut Studiów Wschodnich) is the main organizer of the International Economic Forum held annually in Krynica/Poland since 1990.
The main aim of the Forum is developing dialogue and cooperation among EU countries and their neighbours and partners.
During seventeen years of activity, the International Economic Forum has become a major political and economic event in the region and a distinguished platform of discussion on a wide array of issues such as economy, politics, international security and society. Year after year, the Forum brings together Heads of State, members of governments, experts, eminent businessmen and social activists from renowned NGOs.
Famous quotes containing the words economic and/or forum:
“Postmodernism is, almost by definition, a transitional cusp of social, cultural, economic and ideological history when modernism’s high-minded principles and preoccupations have ceased to function, but before they have been replaced with a totally new system of values. It represents a moment of suspension before the batteries are recharged for the new millennium, an acknowledgment that preceding the future is a strange and hybrid interregnum that might be called the last gasp of the past.”
—Gilbert Adair, British author, critic. Sunday Times: Books (London, April 21, 1991)
“If I should ever decide in the future to discuss my deep Christian beliefs and condemnation and sinfulness, I would use another forum besides Playboy.”
—Jimmy Carter (James Earl Carter, Jr.)
