Conference on the impact of EU enlargement on cultural opportunities across Europe Budapest,14-17 February, 2002 The conference aims to develop further links, both theoretical and practical, between the cultural sectors of the European Union and the Accession Countries – and to discuss the impact of enlargement on the wider Europe. The conference is targeted at participants from all parts of Europe. The event is supported by the European Union, the Hungarian Ministry of Cultural Heritage, the Hungarian National Commission for Unesco and the Austrian Science and Research Liaison Office. Patrons: Mrs Viviane Reding, Commissioner of the European Union for Education and Culture and Mr Ferenc Mádl, President of Hungary. The conference promises to be a well-timed event that is building on the momentum of Laeken and other initiatives to address the challenges that enlargement is likely to highlight: ranging from national and European bureaucracy to the differences in traditions, cultures, languages – both within the enlarged European Union and in respect of the rest of the continent. The conference registration fee is 350 euros for delegates from EU Member States and EFTA countries and 150 euros for delegates from European countries not in the EU or EFTA. There is a 50 euro reduction for early registrations.
