In October 2012, the European Commission promoted an international conference investigating “European Audiences: 2020 and beyond“. The event took place in Brussels, and brought together 800 culture professionals to discuss about how to engage more meaningfully with the audiences of today and tomorrow. The lively participation and debate at the conference highlighted the crucial role of audiences for the cultural sector, who are hungry for engagement, for shared experiences, for a sense of community. Audience development is in fact one of the priorities of the EU’s future funding programme for the cultural and creative sectors, ”Creative Europe”.
The EC has recently published the conclusive outcomes of the conference, which you can download through this link: http://ec.europa.eu/culture/news/documents/conclusions-conference.pdf.
The NetSci2013 conference will take place on June 3-7, 2013 at the Royal Library in Copenhagen, Denmark. Running parallel to the main conference, several satellite events have been organised in the same days.
The 4th Leonardo Satellite Symposium aims to bring together pioneer work in the overlap of arts, humanities, network research, data science, and information design. It will leverage interaction between those areas by means of keynotes, a number of contributions, and a high-profile panel discussion. The conference organisers are looking for a diversity of research contributions revolving around networks in culture, networks in art, networks in the humanities, art about networks, and research in network visualization. Focussing on these five pillars that have crystallized out of our previous meetings, the 2013 symposium strives to make further impact in the arts, humanities, and natural sciences.
