Ravello LAB 2007 focuses peculiarly on the contribution to the newborn European strategies on culture dealing with two main aspects:

• Cultural industry for the territorial growth and competitiveness
• Innovative policies and instruments to enhance spread cultural heritage

These issues have been chosen in order to bring concrete support to the EU strategic priorities with experiences and case studies in a logic of maximum proximity with what is currently programmed at a technical, political and institutional level.

Ravello LAB 2007 has had two main aims:

• Fostering the development of a European community in the cultural sector that stimulates reflections on this issues
• Contributing to the European cultural policies through operative suggestions (Ravello LAB recommendations) for stakeholders. These recommendations will be the basis for the projected meeting in 2008 reserved to the Director-General of Cultural Heritage Ministries of the 27 Member States.
