Publication details: Brussels : ECOTEC, 2003Description: 93 p. : digital, fitxer PDF (739,94 Kb)Online resources: Summary: ECOTEC was asked to conduct a feasibility study concerning the possible creation of a “European observatory having as its exclusive purpose the analysis of cultural co-operation in Europe”. The terms of reference for the study define the objectives of the European Union in this field as the “observation, follow-up, analysis and description of different forms of cultural co-operation in Europe” and state that these objectives could potentially be achieved through a European Observatory of Cultural Co-operation. (...) The detailed objectives of the feasibility study, as set out in the terms of reference, are as follows: To assess and describe the current institutional backdrop in the field of culture in Europe; To assess if and how existing institutions are already fulfilling the actions of an observatory for cultural co-operation; To assimilate this information and classify it according to geographic area, sphere of activity, type of organisation, status of organisation, financing, and communication strategy; To investigate the opinions and expectations of the Member State’s public cultural bodies and professionals in the cultural field, regarding the creation of a European observatory for cultural co-operation; To identify the potential users of a European observatory for cultural co-operation; To identify and evaluate the advantages and disadvantages (positive and negative impact) of the creation of a European observatory for cultural co-operation; To identify the objectives and the missions of a European observatory and indicate how it could be structured, how it should be managed, what the working methods and work priorities would be and what resources would be necessary for its operation; To identify and evaluate the advantages and disadvantages (positive and negative impact) of the alternative options that would make it possible to achieve the same goals and to fulfil the same missions, and establish different scenarios likely to satisfy these objectives and missions. The three principal scenarios presented are as follows: 1. Creation of the observatory; 2. Networking of the already existing structures fulfilling the function of observatory at a European level; 3. “No-action scenario”.
