New European-wide Website: LabforCulture

LabforCulture develops innovative approaches, tools and technologies to strengthen, stimulate and facilitate cultural collaboration across geographic, cultural and imaginative borders. The platform is an autonomous project and hosted by the European Cultural Foundation (ECF) in Amsterdam. Evidence showed that information on cultural cooperation across borders was difficult to access. Research carried out by the European Commission, European think tanks and the ECF confirmed that an online platform was needed to promote online participation and debate. LabforCulture.org was developed in partnership with key European cultural networks and organisations to fill this gap.
LabforCulture provides services to artists, cultural managers, producers, programmers, researchers and policy-makers such as online networking tools, platforms for discussions, or Information, research and analysis related to cultural cooperation and collaboration. Since the launch in 2006, tens of thousands of visitors have arrived from every region across the broader Europe and beyond, with the number of registered users on the site tripled since the site launch with thousands of postings of resources, organisations and relevant documents submitted to the site.
