This year’s General Assembly will include the nomination of the BSC Executive Committee and the election of the BSC President and Vice-Presidents.
The BSC General Assembly will be followed by the 13th Annual Forum of The European Union Strategy for the Baltic Sea Region (EUSBSR) 2022, taking place 28-29 September in Lappeenranta, Finland. The Forum is the largest event of the Strategy, bringing together the stakeholders of the EUSBSR.
