The Centre for SouthEast European Studies (CSEES) was established in 2002 with the mission to create an academic Centre of Excellence focusing on the security and defence aspects of South East Europe.

CSEES is a fully independent, non-party political Bulgaria-based NGO with extensive expertise on the security and defence sector in SEE and the Wider Black Sea Area. The scope of its projects includes capacity building of State and local institutions, as well as security policy advice with regional dimensions and training of the successor generation of security experts.

CSEES has implemented a number of international projects, funded by NATO’s Science for Peace and Security Programme, the US Government Democracy Commission, and the Geneva Centre for the Democratic Control of Armed Forces (DCAF).

The 2006 conference was held in Limerick, Ireland and the 2005 conference was held in Zagreb, Croatia. If you have not attended a UACES conference before, please visit Limerick and Zagreb pages for an idea of what to expect.
