Content for Competitiveness
Strengthening the European Creative Industries in the Light of the i2010-Strategy
(Vienna, 2-3 March 2006)
During the Austrian Presidency of the EU the Federal Chancellery has
organised an Expert Seminar with the title Content for Competitiveness
– Strengthening the European Creative Industries in the Light of the i2010-Strategy
in close cooperation with the European Commission. The Seminar was held in
Vienna (Hofburg) from 2 to 3 March 2006.
The main purpose of the seminar was to create AWARENESS among
all stakeholders for the enormous variety of economic, social and legal issues
related to content and creative industries. A coherent policy is needed more
than ever to coordinate the various policy fields concerned, both at European
and at national level, and the inclusion of all the different stakeholders
into policy development is a necessary condition to achieve this coherence.
