• The European Capital of Culture is a city
designated by the European Union for a
period of one calendar year during which it
organises a series of cultural events with a
strong European dimension.
• Preparing a European Capital of Culture can
be an opportunity for the city to generate
considerable cultural, social and economic
benefits and it can help foster urban
regeneration, change the city's image and
raise its visibility and profile on an
international scale.
• An international panel of cultural experts is in
charge of assessing the proposals of cities for the
title according to criteria specified by the
European Union.
• A 2004 study conducted for the European
Commission demonstrated that the choice of
European Capital of Culture served as a catalyst
for the cultural development and the
transformation of the city. Consequently, the
beneficial socio-economic development and
impact for the chosen city are now also
considered in determining the chosen cities
• In 1985, former actress Melina Mercouri, then
Greece’s Minister of Culture, and her French
counterpart Jack Lang came up with the idea of
designating an annual Capital of Culture to bring
Europeans closer together by highlighting the
richness and diversity of European cultures and
raising awareness of their common history and
values.
• The Commission of the European Union manages
the title and each year the Council of Ministers of
the European Union formally designates European
Capitals of Culture: more than 40 cities have been
designated so far.
• The European Capital of Culture programme was
initially called the European City of Culture and was
conceived in 1983, by Melina Mercouri, then serving
as Greek Minister ofCulture. Mercouri believed that
at the time, culture was not given the same
attention as politics and economics and a project for
promoting European cultures within the member
states should be pursued. The European City of
Culture programme was launched in the summer of
1985 with Athens being the first title-holder. During
the German Presidency of 1999, the European City
of Culture programme was renamed the European
Capital of Culture. (put in as Reference: Kiran Klaus

Capitals of Culture and European Union since the
1980s (London: Routledge, 2013).
