The preparation of the Austrian QPR has been coordinated by the Point of Contact to the Convention within the Austrian Commission for UNESCO, in close coordination with the Federal Ministry for Arts, Culture, the Civil Service and Sport as well as the Federal Ministry for European and International Affairs. Beyond the ministries mentioned, other technically competent federal ministries, the Laender (federal provinces) and in accordance with Art. 11 of the convention representatives of civil society organisations were involved in the preparation of the report. This included face-to-face-interviews as well as written/online consultation. (For an extensive account on the process of civil society involvement please refer to the respective chapter of this report.) Additionally, the Point of Contact to the Convention conducted an extensive desk research in order to identify examples of good practice as well as relevant data. Relevant statistical data included in the report was provided by Statistics Austria (STAT). Measures and examples collected in this manner were evaluated by the Advisory Committee on Cultural Diversity. To further ensure involvement of civil society in the preparation of the report, a workshop was organised at the beginning of March 2020. The workshop allowed to discuss the examples collected as well as to further elaborate civil society's future priorities, comment on the preliminary draft, and propose additional measures to be presented in the final report. These proposals were incorporated in the draft.
Based on this draft the report was finalised by the Federal Ministry for Arts, Culture, the Civil Service and Sport as well as the Federal Ministry for European and International Affairs.
Austria is explicitly committed to the Convention on the Protection and Promotion of the Diversity of Cultural Expressions and its importance as a Magna Charta of international cultural policy.
Austrian cultural policy focuses, according to the guidelines for the implementation of the Federal Arts Promotion Act (as of October 2019), on the promotion and development of artistic creation and production in all cultural domains in Austria and its distribution and mediation by a suitable institution, in particular by
- enabling innovative artistic and cultural projects
- maintaining the artistic and cultural activity of the funded institutions
- (promoting) international mobility
- promotion of contemporary art and culture by supporting artistic and cultural projects as part of artistic and cultural education in all cultural domains
These aspects are clearly in line with the goals of the Convention as are the following overarching priorities:
Gender equality: Promoting gender equality is a priority at federal, regional (Laender) and municipal level. At federal level, provisions for gender equality are embedded in the above-mentioned guidelines of the Federal Arts Promotion Act. Further, the guidelines for the implementation of Austrian foreign cultural policy incorporate similar directives: the network of cultural forums (cultural institutes) and embassies is instructed to ensure that female artists are adequately represented in the projects funded and to provide disaggregated data regarding the percentage of women per project funded as well as in the annual programming. Since 2007, the federal annual Arts and Cultural Report provides disaggregated data regarding transfer payments to individual artists; Since 2009 (mandatory since 2013) gender budgeting is guaranteed in the Austrian federal constitution. In addition, advisory boards and juries actively involved in the promotion of art and culture are gender balanced. The monitoring framework of the QPR allows to draw attention to successfully implemented cultural policy measures on gender equality, whilst at the same time allowing to demonstrate key areas for further action. Numerous examples of good practice from the Austrian film sector were identified whilst preparing the QPR, illustrating the sector’s current pioneering role.
The social and economic protection of artists and cultural workers, being a prerequisite for any artistic and cultural creation, is also within the focus of Austria’s cultural policy making. In 2018, a study was carried out examining the social situation of cultural professionals, providing a valuable data basis for the improvement of the current situation. The results of the study display possible fields of action, in which cultural policy measures can contribute to improving the socio-economic situation of professionals in the sector, e.g. regarding fair remuneration.
Austria regards the 2005 Convention as an instrument that contributes strongly to the implementation of the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). The Convention’s framework allows to underline culture’s important contribution to sustainable development whilst at the same time highlighting the necessary inclusion of cultural aspects in development plans and strategies. Cross-sectoral as well as inter-ministerial cooperation is key to drawing synergies. Such a cross-sectoral platform of information exchange and networking is facilitated via a series of events on culture and sustainable development, organised by the Federal Ministry for Arts, Culture, the Civil Service and Sport.
In 2019 the EU and its member states decided to strengthen the UNESCO 2005 Convention in several ways. On the one hand, the SDGs – and thus also the convention – play a stronger role in the current Working Plan on Culture. On the other hand, the decision fosters culture’s role in the EU's external relations, aiming at the joint implementation of cultural projects worldwide that follow a participative, bottom-up approach and focus on local responsibility and needs. The implementation takes place via EUNIC, the network of EU cultural institutes, or via the local “EUNIC clusters”, in cooperation with the EU delegations and local stakeholders.
The cross-sectoral character of culture is decisive for the adequate design of cultural policy measures. Most of the implemented measures are the result of different, interacting factors. However, it can be highlighted that the Convention has proven to be an effective instrument to stimulate inter-ministerial dialogue and to ensure the involvement of civil society actors from the cultural sector. In addition, the monitoring framework offers concrete guidelines as well as the flexibility to design and implement measures according to national and local requirements.
Currently, activities aiming at the creation of a national digital roadmap as well as measures regarding preferential treatment, require an intensified cross-sectoral exchange, including a range of various relevant state, private and civil society stakeholders, in order to further the implementation of the Convention.
