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:
“... feminism is a political term and it must be recognized as such: it is political in women’s terms. What are these terms? Essentially it means making connections: between personal power and economic power, between domestic oppression and labor exploitation, between plants and chemicals, feelings and theories; it means making connections between our inside worlds and the outside world.”
—Anica Vesel Mander, U.S. author and feminist, and Anne Kent Rush (b. 1945)
“That age will be rich indeed when those relics which we call Classics, and the still older and more than classic but even less known Scriptures of the nations, shall have still further accumulated, when the Vaticans shall be filled with Vedas and Zendavestas and Bibles, with Homers and Dantes and Shakespeares, and all the centuries to come shall have successively deposited their trophies in the forum of the world. By such a pile we may hope to scale heaven at last.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
