Bilateral Cultural Co-operation

Bilateral cultural co-operation projects promote exchanges and co-operation in the area of cultural awareness and intercultural dialogue with European and non-European countries.

They may be based on intergovernmental agreements (such as cultural agreements or memoranda of understanding) or on direct contacts. Against the backdrop of increasing globalisation, targeted bilateral co-operation supplements multilateral co-operation and thus supports synergy effects and mutual benefits.

  • Negotiating cultural agreements, cultural programmes, memoranda of understanding,
  • receiving foreign delegations,
  • visits of ministers,
  • exchange of experts in the domain of museums, restoration, monument protection, libraries,
  • exchange of scientific publications and information material,
  • co-operation in the domain of exhibitions
