Contemporary culture is shaped through discussions, encounters, exchanges. Four years after its official launch, the INTERFACES project culminates in an international conference that brings together Creative Europe in its entirety.
About the conference:
The INTERFACES Conference “Cultural synergies, creativity & innovation” is a two-day international event that explores how cultural synergies could contribute to innovation and creativity in the field of CULTURE.
The conference will bring together representatives from projects co-funded by the Creative Europe program of the European Union, cultural practitioners and policymakers to discuss, re-think and re-use strategies on strengthening audience development as a means of improving access to European cultural and creative works, promoting the transnational mobility of artists and professionals and fostering capacity building through innovative approaches to creation, management and marketing for the cultural sectors.
The Conference includes insights, perspectives and tools developed during the four-year large-scale cooperation project INTERFACES, coordinated by Onassis STEGI with the support of the Creative Europe program of the European Union, and connects these with other initiatives, projects and collaborations in Europe and beyond.
