Method: A Strategic Plan will be developed based upon analyses of the UN UNCTAD 'Creative Economy' Report (Geneva 2008).
Results: the analyses will produce operational strategies in order to improve the relationship between the Professional Art Academies and the Economic Creative Sector, both national and international.A conference will be planned in cooperation with the Network of Art Lecturers in the Netherlands (LOK; Landelijk Overleg Kunst Lectoren) in September 2009. Mrs. Edna dos Santos Duisenberg (UNCTAD, Geneva) has personally been invited to act as key-note speaker and Moderator.
