Our aim is to report on creative industries from all member states through well informed local correspondents who keep in view the European perspective. We started in May 2007 and currently have correspondents from Germany, France, Norway, Sweden, Poland and Hungary.

We are providing a newsletter on creative industries in Europe, which is published every four weeks. Registration is free.

Since 2003 we are organizing the German National Conference on Creative Industries in cooperation with the Friedrich Naumann Foundation. We promote the economic and social impact and importance of Creative Industries to a large public. 2005 we started our German Newsportal, on which we publish every 48 hours the latest news and events dealing with Creative Industries. In May 2007 the Office for Cultural Policy and Economy was responsible for the programme of the conference „Cultural and Creative Industries in Europe" which we organised in cooperation with the Friedrich Naumann Foundation and with the support of the German Foreign Office, the European Union, the State of Rhineland-Palatinate and the Berlin Senate. This Berlin-Conference was officially part of the German EC-Presidency 2007.

We are also doing research on the market mechanisms of cultural and creative goods. Bernd Fesel teaches at the Universities of Bonn, Hagen and Berlin and is the author of articles in different newspapers. Since 2005 we have been publishing the Yearbook Creative Industries for Germany (2005 and 2006) and for Europe (scheduled in German and English for September 2007).
