At the end of 2008, the European Commission declared 2009 the European Year of Creativity and Innovation. Creativity and innovation are seen as important factors for creating new solutions to contemporary problems. By focusing on these themes, Europe aims to demonstrate that change can be viewed as opportunities.
On www.europeesjaar2009.nl you will find background information, a calendar of activities in the Netherlands, and criteria for participation in the European Year.

Join in!

Are you organizing an activity that aligns with the objectives of the European Year? Then join the media campaign and ensure your activity is included in the calendar of creative and innovative activities on the website.

The European Year is coordinated in the Netherlands by SICA, the Foundation for International Cultural Activities. To this end, SICA collects examples of Dutch projects focusing on creativity and innovation. If your activity meets the objectives of the European Year and aligns with the five focus themes (creative industry, innovative organisations, digitisation of heritage, cultural education and entrepreneurship), you can apply for the European logo for promotional purposes.
You can find the application form for the logo here. You can send this form by email to Mareile Zuber at [email protected]. Upon approval, your activity will be published on both the national and the European website (www.create2009.europe.eu).
