ERICArts and the Council of Europe have released the 9th edition of the Compendium, the leading information and monitoring system on Cultural Policies and Trends in Europe. The newsletter highlights some of the latest additions and features that have been developed, and provides selected highlights on policy updates and news for European countries and Canada.

Two countries added to the Compendium: Armenia and Slovakia, taking the Compendium coverage to 41 countries. Following a short séjour, France is back in the Compendium system with new information and data!

The edition also contains topic updates for the UNESCO Convention on the Diversity of Cultural Expressions, and the European Year of Intercultural Dialogue.
