Office Ukraine – Support for Ukrainian Artists, the Austrian Federal Ministry of Housing, Arts, Culture, Media and Sport and the Creative Europe Desk Austria are pleased to invite you to the international conference “Networks of Cooperation: Sustainable Structures for Ukrainian Cultural Actors in Europe and Beyond”, taking place from 15-16 October 2026 at Kunsthaus Graz (Austria) in cooperation with the Institute for Human Sciences (IWM), Kunsthaus Graz and the Creative Europe Desk Ukraine.
Since the beginning of Russia’s full-scale invasion of Ukraine in 2022, the cultural sector has demonstrated remarkable resilience, adaptability, and solidarity. Across Europe and beyond, institutions, initiatives, and individuals have mobilised rapidly to provide support, develop new collaborative formats, and sustain cultural production under conditions of crisis.
As this initial phase of emergency response evolves, a shared challenge emerges: How can we transform short-term support into durable, structural cooperation?
A central focus of the conference will be the role of European cooperation frameworks—especially the Creative Europe programme—as well as existing collaborative projects which will serve as reference points for discussion and future development.

Registration will be open until 14 September 2026.
