WHO WE ARE

Bridging Education, Research, and the Balkans

Balkan Studies Foundation, established in 2016 in Skopje, has evolved from the Fettah Efendi Education and Thought Association. Originally created by young academicians, students, and entrepreneurs, it has since expanded its scope to encompass the entire Balkans. Between 2016 and 2022, the foundation conducted numerous educational and research activities. In September 2022, it rebranded as the Balkan Studies Foundation, now collaborating with research centers, training facilities, and publishing houses.
