Welcome at
Danube Cultural Cluster!
In collaboration with many partners from the Danube region the Collegium Hungaricum (the Hungarian Cultural Institute) encourages the foundation of a cultural cluster in the Danube area (Danube Cultural Cluster) within the framework of the Danube Strategy. This cluster is meant to serve as an umbrella organisation for future and already existing cultural clusters in the Danube area, as a centre for information and service for Danube clusters. Do you also see a high future potential in the cultural interworking in the Danube region? Then we would like to invite you to participate in the conference "Danube +. New dimensions, new synergies" focusing on the initiative of the Danube Cultural Cluster in Vienna from the 10th-11th march 2011. This event is part of the Viennese programme accompanying the Hungarian Presidency of the Council of the European Union.
