Building on structured and effective dialogue and aiming to optimize the framework for STI cooperation between the EU and the non-EU Black Sea countries, the BSH International Conference aims:

• To present the progress of key activities and achieved results of the BSH Project, and
• To present, discuss and consolidate the “EU – Black Sea Cooperation Programme in STI”, prepared within the framework of the Black Sea Horizon Project.

Through interactive sessions, participants from the field of STI policy making, STI policy delivery and STI policy analysis will have the opportunity to reflect, discuss and endorse recommendations to improve the framework conditions and to mitigate remaining obstacles for bi-regional STI cooperation.
