We are excited to announce the 23rd edition of the Visegrad Summer School, a prestigious 10-day program dedicated to fostering dialogue, education, and integration among young professionals from the Visegrad Group, Central and Eastern Europe, and the Western Balkans.
This year’s theme, "The Future of Enlargement," explores the evolving landscape of international cooperation and integration. Through workshops, lectures, and expert panels, we will address the challenges and opportunities of expanding international organizations such as the EU, NATO, and the Council of Europe. The program aims to rethink strategies for sustainable growth, cohesion, and resilience in the context of dynamic geopolitical, social, and economic changes.
We invite young professionals, researchers, and students in fields such as international relations, public diplomacy, and development studies, particularly from V4, CEE, and WB countries, to apply. Participants will gain insights into cutting-edge topics and contribute to discussions on shaping the future of international cooperation.
The 23rd Visegrad Summer School is proudly supported by:
- The International Visegrad Fund [Visegrad Fund]

The Ministry of Foreign Affairs of the Republic of Korea [외교부 홈페이지에 오신것을 환영합니다.]
