We are pleased to invite our students, young researchers, and alumni to participate in the 24th International Youth Conference: “European Values for the Future of the SEE Region”, taking place from 24 to 27 September 2026 in Krusevo, North Macedonia.
The conference will gather over 150 young leaders from across Southeast Europe and the EU—including Croatia, Germany, France, Italy, Poland, and neighboring countries—to foster international dialogue, exchange ideas, and build new regional partnerships.
Unlike traditional academic conferences, this year’s edition is designed around interactive and hands-on formats. Participants will collaborate alongside policymakers, EU representatives, civil society leaders, and entrepreneurs through:
Key topic areas include democratic trust, youth participation, EU integration, regional cooperation, peacebuilding, tackling disinformation, social innovation, and entrepreneurship.
Applications are open to young leaders, activists, students, researchers, young professionals, and social innovators aged 18–35 who are passionate about positive change in their communities and the region.
