CALL FOR CANDIDACIES

The Crans Montana Forum is a Non-

Governmental International Organisation

whose importance and prestige have been

well-established since 1986. The Founding

Fathers’ philosophy has always been to build

a better World,

“Committed to a more

Humane and Impartial World”

It is formally recognised by and works with all

major Governments, Non-Governmental

Organisations, International Groups and

International Organisations such as the UN,

UNESCO, UNIDO, the EUROPEAN UNION, the

COUNCIL OF EUROPE, OFID etc.

The Crans Montana Forum encourages

International Cooperation and contributes to

global growth while guaranteeing a high level

of stability, equity and security. It also works

to promote best practices and to ensure a

permanent dialogue between all those who

handle high-level responsibilities.

The Crans Montana Forum organises three to

four events per year, gathering key decision

makers coming from more than 100 countries

to discuss all major social, economic and

security challenges of our Century, in a

private and informal atmosphere.

These various Forums organised worldwide

(Barcelona, Brussels, Geneva, Rabat, Dakhla,

Vienna, Crans-Montana, Bucharest, Baku,

Zagreb, Roma, Sarajevo, Tirana, Athens,

Malta, Bahrain etc.) represent exceptional

opportunities for Businesses and

Government Officials to implement their

strategies, strengthen relationships with

partners and create new ones, and build

cooperation opportunities.

The Crans Montana Forum offers tailor-made

partnerships and activities to those who

would like to take advantage of all the

opportunities offered by the wide scope, the

variety and the relevance of its events.

CRANS MONTANA FORUM

Aware of the key role of Youth in the construction

of a more humane and fairer world, the Crans

Montana Forum wishes to respond appropriately

to the aspirations of these young leaders by

creating the Crans Montana Forum of the New

Leaders for Tomorrow.

This is a Community of young decision makers

selected for their exceptional professional

achievement and experience of Leadership in

Business and Governments from Africa, the Arab

World, Eastern Europe, Central Asia, South

America and the Far East.

Together, they form an active Community to

address the main challenges of the 21st Century

and promote South-South Cooperation. The New

Leaders for Tomorrow benefit from the support

of our Organisation and a free access to all

Forums and High Level Summits organized by the

Crans Montana Forum.

These New Leaders have the keys for being able

to have a direct impact on world affairs and to

strengthen human, economic and social relations

between their respective regions.
