THE CONFERENCE

BSC 8th edition

29/30 November 2024

The National University of Political Studies and Public Administration will organize in 2024 the 8th edition of the Bucharest Security Conference (BSC). 

Bucharest Security Conference is one of the major events in the Central and Eastern European region, providing analysis and debate on the latest developments in the political and security environment of our countries.

The event originated from the B9 Cooperation Format and has been organised annually since 2016 by the National University of Political Studies and Public Administration with the support of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and the Ministry of National Defence, promoting a common understanding of security threats among NATO members and partners, the strengthening of the Allied military presence in the region and the need to strengthen cooperation among B9 member states. The event was also supported by NATO’s Public Diplomacy Division and generated partnerships with internationally renowned universities and think tanks.

Participation is free, but by invitation only, and advance RSVP is required.

COVERAGE

 The annual organization of the Bucharest Security Conference is part of the SNSPA strategy, as a school of government in Romania, to establish an annual platform for debate and dialogue in the field of regional and global defence and security.

The main focus of the 7th edition is the balance of power in Europe and at regional level, in the post-war security architecture.

The event brings together experts from both the academic environment and practitioners in International Relations, to assess the most recent security evolutions in the Euro-Atlantic space, the new dynamics of the international system, and how the global power structure evolves under the impact of the Russian invasion of Ukraine. Nonetheless, the conference aims at sharing NATO and EU values in a changing international environment challenged by tendencies of a return to the national level and power politics.
