The European Commission’s defined priorities for 2019-2024 are highly relevant for policy making in the field of culture at EU level and for the key themes of European cultural cooperation. These priorities are part of the overall political strategy of the European Union. The defined priorities remain highly relevant for policy making in the field of culture at EU level and for the key themes of European cultural cooperation.

For the period of 2019-24, the six political priorities of the European Commission are:

1.A European Green Deal

2.A Europe fit for the digital age

3.An economy that works for people

4.A stronger Europe in the world
