Dear Sir,
on behalf of the Foundation Institute for Eastern Studies, the organiser of the largest and the most important political and economic conference in Central and Eastern Europe, I have the honour to invite you to participate in the
35rd Economic Forum, held under the theme Architecture of The New Order – Stability In Times of Change.
This year's edition will be held on 8-10 September 2026 in Karpacz, Poland. It is a three-day event with a content-rich programme organised within a dozen of thematic tracks and an interesting offer of cultural events.
More than 6,000 guests from Europe, North America and Asia attend the Forum every year. These are representatives of governments, politics, business, science and culture. Among the guests of previous editions, it is worth mentioning: Svetlana Alexievich,
Caroline Atkinson, Valdis Dombrovskis, Andrzej Duda, Dalia Grybauskaitė, Donald Tusk, Günter Verheugen and Vaira Vīķe-Freiberga.
Previous editions were attended by many American guests, among them: Alexander MacDonald, Chief Economist of NASA; Andrew Hamilton, President of NYU; Kimberly Kagan, President of the Institute for the Study of War; Gen. (Ret.) Ben Hodges; Gen. (Ret.)
Robert Spalding and many others.
Rebuilding Ukraine: Europe’s Largest Economic Project Since 1945
The reconstruction of Ukraine will be one of the largest economic and infrastructure projects in Europe’s postwar history. It will require hundreds of billions of euros and close cooperation between governments, international institutions, and the private
sector. The key question concerns not only the scale of financing and who will ultimately pay for Ukraine’s reconstruction, but also the model of rebuilding itself—whether it will become a catalyst for economic modernization and deeper integration with Europe,
or repeat the mistakes of earlier reconstruction programs.
Please do not hesitate to contact me in case of any further questions.
Sincerely,
Wojciech Herbich
Specialist for the Baltic States
