Program
The European Creativity Dialogue on May 6th 2009 in Stuttgart City Hall brought together close to 100 individuals from the creative field from all over Europe.
OPENING SESSION, 10.00 AM–12.30 PM
The European Year of Creativity and Innovation 2009 falls together with
a world economic crisis unparalleled to any other downturn of the past decades.
In that context the focus on creativity and innovation has become even more
urgent than one could have foreseen.
The Opening Session of the European Creativity Dialogue will cast some
highlights on the role of the Creative Industries in the current situation and
for the years to come and will also prepare the ground for the thematic
discussions in the later sessions of the day. Results of highly relevant
current studies will be presented.
