NEMO joins first EU Culture Dialogue Annual Meeting in Brussels

NEMO continues its engagement in Brussels this week as Secretary General Julia Pagel joined the first EU Culture Dialogue Annual Meeting on 12 November 2026, hosted by Glenn Micallef, European Commissioner for Intergenerational Fairness, Youth, Culture and Sport.

Bringing together representatives from Europe's cultural and creative sectors, the meeting focused on the implementation of the Culture Compass for Europe, which was introduced one year ago, and future priorities including artistic freedom, AI, working conditions and a future EU Artists Charter.

Representing museums in the dialogue, Julia Pagel highlighted the challenges many museums and cultural institutions currently face, including budget cuts and increasing political pressure. By participating, NEMO ensures that the experiences, needs and contributions of museums are reflected in ongoing European cultural policy discussions and future initiatives.
