Join Museums for Europe Summit

The resilience of democratic societies also depends on the strength of their social and cultural infrastructure – the spaces where different communities meet, perspectives are exchanged, and dialogue takes place about our shared past, present and future.

Museums are an important part of this social infrastructure. How is their role in contemporary society changing? How do they create space for different voices, experiences and perspectives? And what can we learn from one another about how museums across Europe are responding to these challenges?

Museums for Europe Summit

We invite you to the Museums for Europe Summit, taking place on 10–11 March 2027 in Bratislava. Two days dedicated to exchanging experiences, sharing practical examples and exploring together how city museums can contribute to democratic culture and the resilience of European cities.

Submit your proposal by 30 November 2026. We are interested in successful projects, ongoing initiatives and experiments that did not go as expected. The organisers will cover the registration fee and accommodation for selected contributors.

The meeting in Bratislava will also mark a step towards establishing long-term cooperation among city museums through the Museums for Europe platform.

Save the date! Further programme details will be announced in the coming months, and registration for participants will open in December.
