The Central European Strategy Council was founded in 2013 as an umbrella entity for three member organisations – the Slovak Atlantic Commission (SAC), the Centre for European Affairs (CEA) and the Central European Policy Institute (CEPI). The Central European Strategy Council is built on foundations of a 20-year history of the Slovak Atlantic Commission, the organiser of GLOBSEC, the biggest security and foreign policy conference in Central Europe. The core mission of the Central European Strategy Council is to promote cooperation among Central European countries and to increase their competitiveness in the international environment through seeking practical solutions and answers to current international policy, security, economic, energy, social and other geopolitical challenges through a regional Central European approach. The Central European Strategy Council aspires to define and support the strategic role of Central Europe in international politics. It is a value oriented organisation that believes in liberal democracy, freedom and the rule of law. Central European Strategy Council supports transatlantic partnership and principles of European cooperation. In 2013, the member organisations had more than 30 core members of staff who were involved in 60 projects in 18 countries and dozens of others in a broader team.
