The organisers of the 9^th Annual Forum of the EU Strategy for the Baltic Sea Region to be held in Tallinn on 4–5 June 2018 invite all strategic stakeholders to participate and propose seminars for the event.

Seminars are an essential part of the Annual Forums of the EU Strategy for the Baltic Sea Region (EUSBSR). They serve to exchange views on themes pertinent for the EUSBSR as well as to develop and disseminate new ideas and initiatives.

Seminars should provide a clear link to the Strategy and to the general subject of the 9^th Annual Forum: “After 2020”. We expect the seminars to relate to at least one of the three main themes of the Annual Forum: “EU Cohesion Policy and the EUSBSR After 2020”, “EUSBSR and the Digital World” and “EUSBSR and the Marine Environment”. Ideas about seminars that enhance the EUSBSR main objectives – “Save the Sea”, “Connect the Region” and “Increase Prosperity” – are also welcome. 

• The event will be hosted by the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of Estonia together with the Baltic Development Forum in Denmark and other partners and is organized in close cooperation with the European Commission. The Annual Forum is co-financed from the programme of Interreg Baltic Sea Region.

The 9^th Annual Forum will have 21 slots for 90-minute seminars. The call for seminars will be open until 31 January 2018. Please find additional information and a form for your proposal here.
