The
ECB was founded in March 1999 and is the result of several international
meetings during which people from institutions
from across Europe have jointly identified the need for
strengthening existing collaborative structures and for lobbying
policy makers to recognize independent media culture as an important
field in-between contemporary culture and the development of
media and information technologies.
The most important aims of the ECB are to widen access to new
communication technologies for artists, cultural initiatives
and the broader audience and to establish a European
wide digital infrastructure for cultural production,
research and exchange. |

|
|
The coalition of
cultural institutions and individuals wishes to act as a mediator
between industry, education, policy makers and the arts and
culture.
