On the 16th and 17th of May 2016, Lisbon will host the International Conference “University, Culture and the City”, a joint organization of Universidade NOVA de Lisboa, Université Libre de Bruxelles (ULB) and UNICA – Network of Universities from the Capitals of Europe.
Contemporary cultural challenges are attracting much attention in today’s political debate. The notion of culture, in its various understandings, is omnipresent. European cities, now even more than ever, are magnets for multi-ethnic and multi-cultural amigration and become increasingly diverse in ethnic and cultural terms.
