Creativity and Innovation-EAC Conference on Best Practice from EU Programmes

To welcome in the best way the new European Year and to demonstrate its own engagement in fostering creativity and innovation in its various fields, the Directorate-General for Education and Culture will host a conference and exhibition in Brussels on 2 and 3 March 2009. The events will take place at the Commission's Charlemagne building, where will also be showcased projects which have been funded by several EU programmes.

In the same context will also take place the launch of EVE, an electronic platform  aimed at facilitating the spread and exploitation of results arising from the programmes and initiatives of DG EAC.

The Conference will provide a platform for dialogue between policy makers and project promoters in the fields of education, training, entrepreneurship, culture, youth, citizenship, regional policy, etc. It should also examine the most appropriate ways to provide sustainability to the initiatives from the European Year of Creativity and Innovation 2009.
