Warsaw East European Conference (WEEC) is one of the most important events devoted to the region of Eastern and Central Europe, the Balkans, the Caucasus and Central Asia held in Warsaw. Ever since 2004, once a year, the historical building of the Old Library of the University of Warsaw changes into a scientific-political-economic center of the region. During a few days of conference, WEEC speakers and listeners present the most important, current and historical issues related to the Eastern issues.
WEEC is the region’s largest conference devoted to problems of the East.
WEEC speakers are world-renowned experts in the region, scientists, politicians, diplomats and journalists. Each year WEEC hosts representatives from almost all the countries of the former Eastern Bloc, Western Europe, the United States and Asian countries.
The WEEC is the Centre’s largest academic and organizational event of the year. This annual international English-language conference was modelled on the “Association for the Study of Nationalities” (ASN), one of the largest international academic organizations in the region.
The first conference took place in 2004 and was attended by Lech Wałęsa. 2013 was the 10th anniversary of the WEEC. In 2013 we celebrated the 10th anniversary of our conference. WEEC participants come from Poland, as well as former countries of the USSR – mostly from countries such as Ukraine, Belarus, Russia, Lithuania, Kazakhstan, Georgia, but even from such faraway places as Taiwan. Participants also come from Western European countries such as Germany, Italy, Great Britain, as well as the United States, Canada and many other countries from all over the world.
The conference is based on a system of panels with accordingly themed lectures. The main event of the conference program is the “Round Table” – a discussion between various invited experts and specialists from various fields. Following the academic portion of the conference, participants also have the opportunity to take part in the conference’s cultural program, which includes film screenings, concerts, special presentations, etc.
