IYA2009 forges links with the European Year of Creativity and Innovation

25 February 2009


The European Commission has decided to mark 2009 as the European Year of Creativity and Innovation (http://create2009.europa.eu/). The aims of the year are to raise awareness of the importance of creativity and innovation for personal, social and economic development; to disseminate good practices; to stimulate education and research, and to promote policy debate on related issues.

It's clear that the International Year of Astronomy 2009 shares many aims and goals with the European Year of Creativity and Innovation. We suggest that you contact the national coordinator for the national activities of the European Year of Creativity and Innovation. Here is the list of participating countries:

This can be a new way to promote your national activities and reach new
audiences. Collaborations with the European Year of Creativity and Innovation could be very beneficial.
