Help shape the future of MEDIA MUNDUS
The European Commission is inviting responses to an online public consultation on the future of MEDIA Mundus. The purpose of the consultation is to gather opinions regarding the provision of an international co-operation programme from audiovisual professionals in Europe and beyond, with a view to shaping a 'new MEDIA Mundus' for 2014 onwards. The online consultation is just one part of a wider public consultation, responses to which will be taken into account in the Commission's proposal for a new MEDIA Mundus programme (to be adopted by the European Parliament and European Council), following an assessment of possible social, economic and environmental impacts. The consultation is open to individual citizens, public and private bodies, local/regional authorities, ministries and relevant stakeholders in the audiovisual sector, both inside and outside the EU. The consultation is available online and only takes a few minutes to complete.
The deadline to respond is 23 May 2011.
