The ICDT is a partner organization in a project supported by the International Visegrad Fund and implemented by the Center for European Policy Analysis (CEPA). A major part of the project is the annual CEPA Forum, formerly known as the U.S.-Central Europe Strategy Forum. The Forum is the largest annual gathering of Central andEastern European officials and experts in the United States. In 2016 it will be held in
Washington, D.C. on September 28-29, 2016. The conference will be devoted to the theme “Saving the West – Priorities and Principles.” The representative of the ICDT will participate at the conference.

The ICDT will also contribute one analytical paper on the broad topic of the V4 anniversary, the current state of Atlanticism, and future U.S.-V4 relations. The paper will be printed, distributed and promoted at the 2016 CEPA Forum. Following the Forum, CEPA and its partners will organize a public roundtable discussion in Bratislava in order to extend the transatlantic conversation about the V4 anniversary and U.S.-V4 relations to the region.
