A one-day conference entitled ‘The cultural open method of coordination: A new boost for European cultural policies?’ will take place on 20 June 2016 in Brussels. The conference aims to bring together scholars, policy-makers, the cultural and creative sectors, and civil society in order to discuss and assess the use of the open method of coordination in the field of culture.
