Culture meets Economy 2009

The International conference
“Culture meets Economy”

will take place on July 1st, 2009
at the Conference Hall of the European Academy of Bolzano-Bozen,

organized by The European Academy of Bolzano-Bozen (EURAC research), The Free University of Bolzano-Bozen, The Südtirol Jazzfestival Alto Adige and The Südtiroler Sparkasse Foundation.



The proposed formula for this year is:
Economic Crisis = Cultural Crisis?

Relations between culture and crisis, specially those related to the global financial crisis, will be the main topic to discuss on the third edition of the annual conference. Some questions can be:

- What will happen with the relationship between economic and social development worldwide?
- Which is the effect of the crisis on culture?
- How the cooperation between economy and culture can help the dealing with financial crisis?

On June 30th will take place a scientific workshop “Culture and Crisis“, a day before the conference, where participants should generate the own contribution to be exposed in the conference.
The participation is free of charge. To close the night, will be offered a jazz concert by Mederic Collignon's Jus De Bocse quartet, as part of the Südtirol Jazzfestival Alto Adige.

The event is coordinated by Harald Pechlaner, Director of The Institute for Regional Development and Location Management of the European Academy of Bolzano-Bozen and Chair of Tourism, Catholic University of Eichstätt-Ingolstadt, and Gerhard Glüher, Professor for Philosophy and Design Theory and Vicedean of the Faculty of Design and Art of the Free University of Bozen – Bolzano.
