Besis Forum 2026 Zaragoza: Transforming past efforts into opportunities for the future.

MAY 26
2026
ZARAGOZA

BESIS connects organizations from different countries to give new life to these results, transforming past efforts into opportunities for the future.

What do we stand for and what unites us?

Based on the experience of organizations active in European and international cooperation —from education and social innovation to territorial development and research— the BESIS Forum transforms knowledge into action.

We have seen how many valuable results of international projects are left behind once funding ends, and we have decided to change that.

That is why we connect organizations and people across borders to give new life to past achievements, turning lessons learned into new collaborations, innovative actions, and lasting impact.

Where collaboration does not end with the final project report, but evolves into lasting connections that drive innovation and positive change beyond borders.

The BESIS Forum is a bridge for dialogue, learning, and cooperation between international actors, driving collective progress and meaningful social change.

Why join the BESIS Forum?

Are you an organization with experience in international cooperation projects looking to expand your network and create a lasting impact?

Are you a non-profit organization eager to maximize the results of your previous projects and turn them into meaningful long-term change?

Are you a public organization seeking cross-border partnerships to reach new markets and strengthen your territorial influence?

Do you believe in collaboration as a powerful tool for innovation, social responsibility, and the creation of a more inclusive world?

Be part of a network that transforms European and international project results into new opportunities for innovation, collaboration, and global impact.

What to Expect?

A day of innovation, collaboration, and inspiration.
