Abstract The central premise in the holding of the symposium was that there is a long tradition of co-operating among the countries of the sub-regions concerned in the domains of education, science, culture, and communication. Given the perspective of accession of most of these countries to EU membership, this co-operation will develop and expand. As such, it is worth studying so as to better understand and promote it. Thus, the symposium examined the following topics: (i) Looking ahead: Links and Co-Operation in the Central and South Eastern Europe; (ii) Science and the Application of Science for Technology Development: Towards enhancement of endogenous capacities; (iii) Co-operation through culture interactions: Lessons from the past and agenda for the future; (iv) Enhancing the quality of communication for and through better co-operation. The conclusion is that co-operation of all sorts among the countries of the sub-regions is stronger than co-operation between them but that they should pursue their EU accession efforts, enhancing them through sub-regional co-operation in all domains.
