Forum on "Europe's Creative regions and cities"
20.04.09 – 21.04.2009
In the context of the European Year of Creativity and Innovation 2009, the Committee of the Regions will, together with the European Commission, organise a two-day ‘Forum’ to showcase the creativity of Europe’s regions and cities and to prove that creativity and innovation can be of key importance for a successful turn in economic development.
The idea of the Forum, which will be held for up to 300 participants in the Committee of the Regions’ premises in Brussels, is twofold.
First, to create a platform for exchange of best practice among those regions, cities and experts who have experiences in promoting creative industries and innovative approaches in the following fields:
(1) Arts and Culture;
(2) Science, Research and Innovation;
(3) Media, Information and Communication Technologies;
(4) Urban Development and Urban Creativity;
(5) Social Innovations.
Second, with the support by the European Commission’s “Youth in Action” Programme 100 young creative talents from all over Europe. The members of the Committee of the Regions will propose candidates from their constituencies. They might be artists, architects, designers, film makers, internet experts or others. What would qualify them should their attempt to be at the same time "young entrepreneurs" and to have contributed to a certain extent to the development of the local economy, for example by setting up their own businesses.
