Research for CULT Committee – European Cultural Institutes Abroad
The objective of this study commissioned by the European Parliament in 2015 is to have a better understanding of the role that the national cultural institutes of EU Member States could play in a European strategy for culture in the EU’s external relations. It analyses the strengths and weaknesses of their missions, structures and resources. This study aims in particular at determining whether the national cultural institutes of EU Member States have a European dimension and whether they would be able to assist the EU in further promoting its priorities and fundamental values in third countries.
