The Berlin Economic Forum Project (2010-2034)

The Berlin Economic Forum Project 2010-34 is a 25-year global project organized by the Institute for Cultural Diplomacy in partnership with global governance organizations, national governments, leading academic institutions and multinational corporations.

The Berlin Economic Forum aims to promote a global dialogue and understanding of the field of international economics and its relations with related disciplines such as international affairs & diplomacy, global business & trade, equalities and culture. In particular, the project raises awareness and focus on issues (among others) such as sustainable business, responsible investments, environmental sustainibility, economic inequalities, and fair-trade.

The project includes multiple components including international meetings, international conferences & events, education and graduate programs, exchange and youth programs, as well as extensive research and publications in the field. The international conferences and events have taken place already in over 100 different major cities around the world, including over 5 continents. So far new educational and graduate programs have been established to enable further leading academic degrees in the field.

The project primary vision is to create, through its networks & participants, a significant number of innovative follow-up initiatives and programs in order to promote development, democracy and peace.

The project is built on the experience that the Institute has gained with the previous project: the Berlin International Economics Project 2010-14.
