The Budapest Balkans Forum is the flagship conference of the Hungarian Institute of International Affairs (HIIA). Drawing on the success of the previous years’ Budapest Balkans YOUTH Forum (BBYF) side-event, we invite applicants – university students and young professionals – from countries of the Three Seas Initiative and the Western Balkans to attend our 5-day spring school (March 9-14) in the Hungarian capital.

The aim of the BBYF is to create a platform for young minds to explore avenues for advancing infrastructure development and fostering regional cooperation across Central and Southeast Europe, participate in a day-long simulation, professional sessions (including argumentation, rhetoric, communications, etc.), to partake in the Budapest Balkans Forum and to explore the Hungarian capital through cultural programs.

Application deadline: February 5.
