This flagship event, organised by the Directorate-General for Education and Culture, (DG EAC) in Brussels, will provide a unique opportunity to debate and raise the profile of European cooperation in the field of culture. The 2013 edition of the Forum will gather together both cultural policy actors and ‘Creative Europe’ stakeholders and address some of the hottest topics for the sector at the moment.

The Forum's programme will include a variety of formats: plenary panels for in-depth discussions, short flash sessions to inform on other hot topics, and much more... There will be three thematic pillars for the plenary sessions:

• Measuring the true value of culture and the functioning of the cultural eco-system
   
• Funding culture in the digital era, looking at new funding models based on developing loyalty and building communities of followers, as well as institution centered models, such as corporate sponsorship, co-production and artistic interventions in business or public services
   
• Audience development and making cultural participation a reality, looking at holistic, 360° strategies, reaching non-audiences, participatory art, and partnerships and synergies with other sectors
