The Valletta 2018 Foundation, responsible for implementing the European Capital of culture (ECoC) project in Valletta and Malta in 2018, will be holding the Second International Conference on Cultural Relations in Europe and the Mediterranean. The conference is titled 'Cultural Mapping: Debating Spacs and Places' and will bring together academics and practitioners to exchange experiences and debate cultural mapping practices, as well as to explore practical and conceptual approaches to cultural mapping within a global context (with a particular emphasis on the Euro-Mediterranean context). The conference will seek to develop a better understanding of how various mapping practices are developing over time. The Valletta 2018 Foundation will be collaborating with the Centre for Social Studies, University of Coimbra.

Academics, researchers, artists and PhD students are invited to present papers or posters discussing their work within this field or addressing the conference themes, during the conference. Abstracts (400 words) are to be submitted to [email protected] by no later than Friday 27th March 2015. Conference proceedings will be published in due course.

For further information, including detailed submission guidelines, please visit the Valletta 2018 Foundation website or contact the Foundation on [email protected] or +356 2124 2018.
