Financial Report 2018
The General Assembly is asked to approve the 2018 Financial Report of the
Europeana Network Association.
The information contained in this document is based on the ﬁnancial administration
maintained by Europeana Foundation on behalf of the Association.
All funding for the Europeana Network Association is provided by the Europeana
Foundation from the Europeana Digital Service Infrastructure funding (DSI4).
The Budget for 2018 was approved by the Europeana Network Association AGM on 6
December 2017. The operation budget consists of three categories of expenses:
● travel costs related to the Members Council and Management Board
● other costs (elections and meeting related costs)
● funding for Task Forces.

In total, the Association spent €6.838 less than budgeted. This underspend is
primarily due to the Task Forces spending signiﬁcantly less than anticipated. The
overspend on other costs mainly consists of venue and catering costs for the
Members Council meetings and was partially balanced by a corresponding
underspend for travel costs.

5 questions to 42 cultural agents
● What does the cultural landscape that you want to
pass on to future generations look like?
● How is that reﬂected in your own practice?
● Do we need the arm’s length principle to govern
the cultural sector?
● What can we live without in our cultural landscape?
● How can we increase the importance of culture on
the political agenda?

“Today, there is probably not a single
individual over the age of ten who hasn’t
somehow been exposed to the concept
of climate change. However, there’s
quite a gap between ﬁrst hearing about
about it to gaining a physical experience
of it. (…) Culture is a language that
enables us to talk about topics that can
feel rather abstract. One of its foremost
characteristics is that it embodies its
content. “
Olafur Eliasson, artist

“…we’re facing the greatest challenge
in the history of our civilization. As a
society, we have to solve the
challenge of climate change. (…)
Here, art can take on new meaning
because it’s a language that enables
people to understand complex
issues with their emotions. For
indiviual citizens, it’s incredibly
diﬃcult to translate an 800 page
report from FN’s climate panel into
something they can feel and act on.”
Uﬀe Elbæk, leader of the Danish
political party Alternativet

“Art fundamentally supports our ability to
be human and function in society; to
become citizens. It’s hard to fathom why
politicians aren’t prioritizing culture and in
fact put it at the top of the agenda. The act
of looking at art and being creative is in
essence Bildung. They want citizens to
engage in society and be educated so why
not start looking where those things
already grow? (…) Creativity is
fundamentally problem-solving. You have
some kind of problem and you need to ﬁnd
a solution. The more you let your creativity
guide you, the greater your ability to break
free from what can feel like a locked
situation.” Elizabeth Holstein, law student
and cultural entrepreneur
