Some of the political leaders of Central Europe gathered at the Economic Forum held earlier this month in Poland’s southern city of Krynica. The rift among new and old Europe was on the top of the agenda, with its controversial topics such as the two-speed Europe, the refugee crisis and the posted workers row. For the 27th time, the regional leaders from the world of politics, business and science are meeting in the resort of Krynica to discuss the great challenges of our time. The organiser of the Krynica Economic Forum could hardly find a better motto for 2017 than "Project: Europe. What Recipe For The Next Decade?" The 27th Krynica Economic Forum addressed not only the current business issues, but also outlined strategic directions for companies, entrepreneurs and the entire Polish economy. On a diplomatic level, there has been some tension between Poland and France in the last couple of weeks. Nevertheless, if we combine the Economic strategies and the investment ambitions of these two countries, we cannot NOT notice many similarities in their activities. The 27th Economic Forum is a perfect example of that. PARTNERS MEDIA PARTNERS (95) AMONG OTHERS: PARTNERS INSTITUTIONAL PARTNERS (86) AMONG OTHERS: PARTNERS COMMERCIAL PARTNERS (115) AMONG OTHERS: INFORMATION CLAUSE Following the entry into force as of 25 May 2018 of the Regulation (EU) 2016/679 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 27 April 2016 on the protection of natural persons with regard to the processing of personal data and on the free movement of such data, and repealing Directive 95/46/EC (General Data Protection Regulation) (“Regulation”), please be aware of the rights, as set out below, that you shall have in connection with the processing of your personal data by the Foundation Institute for Eastern Studies ("ISW").

What is currently a „flywheel” of a cultural development in Central Europe? Does the common access to the culture transformation into a pop culture and is it a reason to be afraid of? How to promote European Culture: cinematography, music, literature, design and architecture effectively through „industrial” approach.
