The Central and Eastern European Network CEEN is a platform for dialogue among the presidents (or their personal representatives) of National Academies of Sciences from Central and South Eastern Europe. CEEN was established in 2003 by the European Academy of Sciences and Arts with reference to the EU enlargement. Members include the Academy of Sciences and Arts of Bosnia and Herzegovina, the Croatian Academy of Sciences and Arts, the Macedonian Academy of Sciences and Arts, the Montenegrin Academy of Sciences and Arts, the Serbian Academy of Sciences and Arts, respective institutions in Bulgaria, the Czech Republic, Hungary, Latvia, Poland, the Slovak Republic and Slovenia as well as the World Academy of Art and Science. The main aim of CEEN is to support the further integration of the region into the European Research Area. Invited guests join the regular meetings of the network, e.g. officials from the European Commission, the European Parliament or representatives from stakeholders such as SEE-ERA.NET. In 2007, one of the meetings will be organised by the Montenegrin Academy of Sciences and Arts (June 1, 2007).
