BIC promoted this research and analysis by publishing over 25 research papers, and organizing 4 high-level conferences, which facilitated constructive dialogue between policy-makers, civil society, international organizations. This year, BIC developed valuable new partnerships, including with the Millennium Film Festival, which aims to highlight film makers who promote the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals.
The BIC in conjunction with the Egmont Institute has been organizing high level discussions on Afghanistan on issues such as security and human rights, and how the international community, especially the European Union and United Nations, should respond. These recommendations were taken forward by the European Parliament Delegation for Relations with Afghanistan, and following the event, the BIC produced an in-depth policy paper with key recommendations for the European Union and UN leaders.
