Project & Policy Officer
The Balkan & Black Sea Commission (BBSC) of the Conference of Peripheral Maritime Regions (CPMR)
is looking for a Project & Policy Officer to join its team in Brussels
ABOUT US
The Conference of Peripheral Maritime Regions of Europe is a pan-European political association of around 140 regions in 24 countries in the European Union and beyond. It is both a think tank and an interest group for regional authorities. Since it was established in 1973, the CPMR has been acting to promote a more balanced development of the European territory. Most of its work addresses EU policies with a strong territorial impact, and has a particular focus on Cohesion Policy, the maritime dimension of all EU policies, territorial accessibility, transport, energy and climate change. The CPMR is structured around six Geographical Commissions based around sea basins: Baltic Sea, North Sea, Atlantic Arc, Mediterranean, Balkan and Black Sea, and Islands.
The CPMR Balkan & Black Sea Commission is one of the 6 Geographical Commissions of the CPMR. It was established in 2024, further to the merger of the Balkan and Black Sea Commissions of the CPMR. The CPMR Balkan & Black Sea Commission (BBSC) currently brings together Regions from Georgia, Greece, Romania, and Ukraine, and is open to Local and Regional Authorities from the Adriatic-Ionian and wider Black Sea region countries. It aims to support the integration of these areas and improve their relations with the EU in the context of enlargement and represents a forum to address specific issues that are common to the members of this geographical area, which are then voiced at the highest European level. The BBSC is also project-oriented, encouraging and helping the member regions to implement EU-funded cooperation projects.
