The European Commission is organising a major European conference on creativity and innovation on 2 and 3 March 2009 in Brussels.

The event will explore and identify examples of best practice among projects that have received funding through several European Union programmes.
This conference will be accompanied by a special exhibition showing the results of 20 star projects from around Europe which show how the EU's contribution can make a difference. The projects were chosen for being creative and innovative, in line with the theme of the European Year of Creativity and Innovation 2009.

The Conference will be an occasion to officially launch the electronic platform "EVE", which will contain results of hundreds of projects financed through the Lifelong Learning programme, the Culture, Youth and Citizenship programmes.
