Salzburg Festival Director Oberender to Leave
The Herald Tribune reports that next years festival will be Thomas Oberender’s last. It is said that Juergen Flimm will become interim until a replacement is found.
The Impact of the European Capitals of Culture
Between 2007 and 2019, there could be as many as 180 cities bidding for the title of European Capital of Culture, according to a recently launched website for the Association of Candidate Cities to the European Capital of Culture. As more and more cities vie for the title, LabforCulture has been investigating the existing research on the subject, in partnership with Trans Europe Halles, a network of independent culture centres with 49 members in 25 countries.
Lidia Varbanova, Editor of the Resources for Research section of LabforCulture, undertook a mapping of the existing research. Although one of the requirements for a city to become a European Capital of Culture is “involving local people and integrating local culture”, she has reflected that this aspect of the cities’ experience is the least considered and evaluated in the overall body of research. More recent research indicates a decided shift and an increased focus on the ongoing local legacy of the programme, as seen in the research from Lille 2004, Luxembourg 2007 and the ongoing research from Liverpool 2008 and Stavanger 2008.

European cooperation
Over the past years, IFEA Europe has developed strong ties with other pan-European networks such as Culture Action Europe (formerly European Foundation for Arts and Heritage), and the European Festival Association. We also maintain contact with networks such as the IETM and NOEA. Although aims and undertakings of these organisations vary greatly, we find that there is great benefit to sharing experiences, organisational practices, and concrete knowledge about our niches in the cultural sector in Europe. During the fall, 2008, IFEA Europe will seek to expand cooperation with some of these networks, leading to a more comprehensive sharing with our member of European financial and organisational practices in the cultural sector at the IFEA Europe 2009 Annual Conference.
