Décrivez le processus de consultation multipartite établi pour la préparation de ce rapport, y compris les consultations avec les ministères, institutions publiques, gouvernements locaux et organisations de la société civile pertinents. :

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.

Résumé exécutif:

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.

Note: For reasons of consistency, the currently valid names of the responsible federal ministries are used below, despite differing names in the reporting period.

In June 2018, the Austrian Broadcasting Corporation (ORF) and representatives of the Austrian music industry signed an agreement to increase the share of local music content in the Austrian Broadcasting Corporation’s programmes. The agreement states the following: for the radio station Ö3 a share of 18 per cent of Austrian/local music, with a share of 15 per cent in its core time, has been set; one third of Austrian music on all ORF radio stations; establishment of special programmes on television. Such an agreement on a share within economically strong periods is unprecedented. It allows to increase the share of Austrian Music on Ö3, the station with the highest ratings, to 15 percent between 5 a.m. and 10 p.m. in the next three years. The total share of Austrian music on Ö3 will be raised to 18 percent in the same period. In addition, a broadcasting programme on the channel ORF III is being envisaged, dedicated to the broadcasting of contemporary music in all varieties, but in particular the inclusion of contemporary Austrian music. Objectives: • increased visibility and awareness of local (Austrian) music content • sustainable contribution to Austria’s music and culture production • strengthening Austria’s creative industries

In the course of the selection process, an independent jury of experts (2 female, 1 male) selected three media art projects (1 from a female artist, 2 from male artists) from 20 submissions (6 female, 14 male). Projects range from the simulation of artistic processes via artificial intelligence, a digital visualisation of climate protection actions, to the creation of an online-composition-mechanism for professional as well as amateur musicians within a public-performative space. The selected media art projects reflect integral aspects of the region’s cultural development plan, such as cultural participation, accessibility, and peer-to-peer networking and cooperation. Projects are currently being developed or implemented. As the data shows, two thirds of the projects were submitted by men, which is why, incentives for a higher participation of women will be considered for the upcoming call.

A total of 17 European artists in the first year and 13 in the second year, participated in the residency productions at their 11 European host organisations in different EU countries. The artists realised altogether 22 works so far (another 22 will follow 2020-2021) with the support of the host, offering infrastructure and counselling with experts. The projects have already received overwhelming international recognition. Examples range from the "Hidden Life of an Amazon User" by Spanish artist Joanna Moll, measuring and showing the carbon emissions of our Amazon shopping activities, to "Mozaic Virus" by British artist Anna Ridler. The project received an honorary mention at Ars Electronica 2019 in the category of "AI and Life Arts"; her following work "Myriad" was shortlisted for the "design of the year 2019" by the Dutch Design Museum. Apart from the residence productions and their individual presentations in form of exhibitions, performances, artist talks and workshops and the promotion of the artists, the EMAP member institutions also organise collective conferences and exhibitions with the artists. A total of more than a quarter million visitors have attended these events directly organised by EMAP each year.

The following three Artist-in-Residence Programmes were established in the reporting period, as outlined in detail below: (INCOMING) Artist-in-Residence WESTBALKAN took place from 1.1.2016 to 31.12.2019 in cooperation with Quartier 21 of the Museumsquartier Wien in Vienna. Artists from the successor states of Yugoslavia and Albania were invited for a residence of one to two months in Vienna, in order to promote networking with the Austrian cultural scene, as well as strengthening of cultural exchange between Austria and the individual states that are, following the breakdown of Yugoslavia, characterised by fragile civil societies. (INCOMING) Writer-in-Residence WESTBALKAN. A further programme similar to the above was initiated with writers from the same region. (INCOMING/OUTGOING) WESTBALKAN CALLING: The Federal Ministry for European and International Affairs commissioned the cultural association from the city of Graz “rotor”, to implement a cultural exchange programme with the successor states of Yugoslavia and Albania between 2016 and 2018. As opposed to the programmes mentioned above, this programme is characterised by reciprocal exchange (incoming/outcoming). Whilst, artists from the western Balkans were offered residences in Vienna and other federal states of Austria (Laender), Austrian artists were invited to studios in the western Balkans. As a result of this exchange, an exhibition took place on the premises of “rotor” in the city of Graz. The programmes addressed, in particular, younger artists and cultural actors from Austria and the western Balkans, who were aiming at the development of an international career. It further involved the general public interested in arts and culture in both regions as well as the participating organisations in the programmes (cultural managers in Austria and western Balkans). Objectives: • support for cross-border cultural work • enabling the development of international networks • fostering understanding for issues important to civil society that can be spread through cultural expressions • strengthening social cohesion in and between countries involved • create consciousness for the fact that living together peacefully can take place not in contradiction but to the contrary on the basis of a reflected knowledge of one’s own identity and that cultural diversity represents an added value in this respect • protection and conservation of cultural heritage The programmes are targeted to younger persons, but are accessible to persons of all ages.

The development of cultural development plans and strategies offers opportunities to develop long-term strategies and to set cultural policy priorities in a participatory process, starting at communal level. The following strategies were selected as examples within the reporting period: 1. In 2018, the culture development plan of the Province of Salzburg was completed after a participatory development process, including a total of 600 participants. It provides concrete priorities and measures for cultural policy making in the next ten years, including e.g. cultural spaces in rural areas, facilitation of cooperation between the creative industries and the art scene as well as access to information and support of freelance artists regarding the social and economic status. 2. The Culture Strategy of the Federal Province of Lower Austria was first implemented in 2016 and revised in 2019. It was developed in a participatory process together with a wide range of artists, cultural professionals as well as recipients / audiences. 3. In 2019 the City of Innsbruck initiated the development of a long-term cultural strategy process, establishing a post in the municipal cultural office for the organisational implementation of the cultural strategy. The strategy includes a total of three phases: For the first phase (mid-2020 to mid-2022), with broad public participation, a cultural strategy will be developed, forming the basis for cultural policy action with priorities, guidelines and concrete measures for the next ten years. The measures developed are to be implemented in the second phase (planned from mid-2022 / early 2023) and evaluated in a third phase after around five years (approx. 2025) and a decision on the next steps to be taken by 2030. 4. In 2019, Upper Austria started a participatory process for the development of a renewed culture development plan. The new framework is being developed ten years after the current mission statement has been adopted. It builds on an open and transparent process that aims at developing guidelines that anchor art and culture as an important part of the overall development of Upper Austria. Objectives: • development of cultural policy frameworks that serve as guiding principles for cultural policy makers, administration as well as cultural professionals • involvement of civil society actors in the development of cultural policy strategies • raising awareness for the role of culture within the city’s or region’s sustainable development process

The „Kulturtankstelle“ („cultural filling station“) is a cooperative laboratory for artistic-scientific research, production and presentation. It is hosted by the Kunstuniversität Linz (University of Art and Design Linz) and Oberösterreichisches Kulturquatier (the Upper Austrian Cultural Quarter). The project is located at a former gas station on the ground floor of the car park in Linz, Upper Austria. The laboratory constitutes an interface between the host-institutions, whilst also facilitating cooperation among local, national and international actors. Projects involve two to three local, national and/or international partners from different universities and cultural institutions. Since 2019, „Kulturtankstelle“ defines itself also as a platform for transformative processes around social and spatial questions of cities in times of climate change. In October 2019, „Kulturtankstelle“ started to develop, together with partners from Taiwan, Germany and Austria, the project „Green Explosion“. Objectives: • Enabling synergies between theory and practice: key questions concern the topic of “space”. Social, cultural, and economic aspects of space undergo a critical, artistic and scientific reflexion and discussion. • Establishment of a transdisciplinary platform for exchange: the lab situation in the “shop area”, the "rough spaces" of the workshop and the former car wash, as well as the open space in front of the shop, provide a vital mix of spaces, offering spaces for various types of events. • Cooperative projects on regional, national and international level with universities and art institutions

In the reporting period, the Austrian Film Institute introduced gender incentives aiming to increase the number of female filmmakers in the Austrian film sector; Filmfonds Vienna revised its Guidelines on Promotion of TV-production, taking gender balance into consideration. 1. In 2016, the Austrian Film Institute passed a package of measures aiming to increase the number of female filmmakers within the industry. The core measure of the package is the Gender Incentive. If the production funding of a project entitled to reference funds is contracted and the project shows a significant percentage of women as head of departments within the areas of production, direction, script, camera, editing, sound, costume design and production design, the production company will additionally receive an automatic funding of EUR 30,000 (USD 32,500). The additional amount can be reinvested in the script- and/or project development of new projects with an appropriate share of female participation. Further, the reference film funding amount will be raised by 10 per cent, if a project hits the target value according to the funding guidelines and acquires a title to automatic funding on a performance basis. This additional funding money is at the producer’s disposal within the framework of the common reference film funding regulations to be reinvested into new projects with female participation in at least one of the three head departments production, direction, and script writing. In addition, the calculation as part of the production funding application must depict the share of the calculated staff costs directed to female and male filmmakers. 2. As a measure directed at the promotion of gender equality within the TV-funding budget, the guidelines on the "Promotion of TV-productions" were revised in 2015. For instance, a production is only eligible to the maximum funding amount if at least one of the core positions (director, screenplay, production) is held by a woman.

1. Following the evaluation of the Gender Incentive 2017/18 and taking into consideration the results of the Austrian Film Gender Report 2012-2016, the Supervisory Board of the Austrian Film Institute decided to prolong the initiative also for 2019. The evaluation showed that the percentage of women rose in almost all positions. However, the Austrian Film Gender Report 2012-2016 points out clearly that in most positions women are still underrepresented, whilst in a certain few positions there is a comparatively high share of women.

2. The quota of women within TV-funding was increased from eleven per cent in 2015 to 25 per cent in 2016, to 28 per cent in 2018. The percentage of female directors rose to 39 per cent.

The support fund within the framework of the Artists' Social Insurance Fund (KSVF) provides the opportunity for artists to apply for non-repayable grants in certain emergency situations. The "Guidelines for the granting of non-repayable aid from the support fund in accordance with § 25b K-SVFG" stipulate how this should be done in detail. EDUCULT was commissioned by the KSVF to evaluate these guidelines. In order to prepare the evaluation, the research team was in contact with employees of the commissioning KSVF, with applicants and advisory boards, and with representatives of cultural associations and institutions.

Quels sont les résultats atteints jusqu’à présent grâce à la mise en œuvre de la politique/mesure ?:

The evaluation (commissioned by the KSVF itself) forms the basis for a revision of the KSVF guidelines. Following the evaluation carried out by EDUCULT, statements from civil society were obtained and the board of the KSVF was involved. The revision of the guidelines was approved by the responsible department, with the new guidelines coming into force in October 2019. They offer a revised framework for the submissions of artists as well as for the work of the advisory board and the management team. In detail: The most important adaption of the guidelines concerns the definition of "emergencies", adding the category "emergency situation". This broadened definition is an improvement, because it takes artists who have not entered the state of emergency due to a single event (i.e. a specific emergency) into consideration. In addition, the requirement regarding the time frame, being limited to emergencies within the last 6 months, has been abandoned. Further changes concern the requirements and obligations for applicants: Additionally, to the previously set upper limit per emergency (EURO 5,000 / USD 5,500), there is now a fixed limit of Euro 12,500 (USD 13,500) within five years. Applicants are also obliged to credibly exhaust all other support options. Proof of payment for the reimbursement of costs by a social security institution must be provided before the fund itself transfers the support amount. Subsequent support services from other agencies for the same issue must in future be replaced by the KSVF up to the amount of its support.

The social situation of artists is often characterised by precarious and discontinuous employment situations, uncertain income prospects and a lack of social security. Against this background, the Federal Ministry for Arts, Culture, the Civil Service and Sport commissioned a study in 2018 on the social situation of art and cultural professionals. The centrepiece of the study is an update of the last survey from 2008. It provides up-to-date information on topics such as employment and income, social security, funding situations, training and education, mobility and networking as well as aspects of work-life-balance in the arts and cultural sector.

Measures and Initiatives reported by Civil Society Organizations

Veuillez indiquer le pourcentage de mesures et d’initiatives qui ont été considérées comme pertinentes par la Partie et incluses dans le formulaire des rapports périodiques.:

In Austria, the involvement of civil society organisations and actors in the preparation of the report was carried out by National Contact Point to the Convention, located within the National Commission for UNESCO. Already in 2004, the Austrian Commission for UNESCO has set up the Austrian Working Group on Cultural Diversity as a permanent exchange body between representatives of civil society and representatives of the federal ministries and the regional culture departments (Laender). The National Contact Point serves as a secretariat for the Working Group. In addition, the Advisory Committee on Cultural Diversity is a further body to support the implementation of the 2005 Convention in Austria. It currently consists of six members from the responsible federal ministries, two representatives from the regional culture departments (Laender) and three experts from civil society. Here, too, the Cultural Diversity Contact Point functions as the secretariat. The Working Group on Cultural Diversity meets approx. three times a year and was first informed on the upcoming preparations for the 3rd QPR in March 2019 and familiarised with the corresponding schedule. Subsequently, the 9th closed conference of the Working Group on Cultural Diversity in October 2019 focused on the preparation of the report, in particular the topics "media diversity", "participation of civil society", "mobility of artists and cultural workers" and "artistic freedom" were discussed. These discussions provided important background information for the preparation of this report, especially with regard to civil society’s goals and priorities. The Advisory Committee on Cultural Diversity usually meets once a year. In the process of preparing the report, it evaluated and commented on the measures collected by the Contact Point and approved a first draft of this report at its 12th meeting in December 2019. In addition to the involvement of the bodies mentioned above, the National Contact Point to the Convention has taken the following measures to reach other experts from art and culture: In cooperation with the German Commission for UNESCO, the Civil Society Form provided by UNESCO was translated into German. The translation facilitated exchange with German speaking civil society actors. In autumn 2019, it was distributed to around 150 stakeholders at national and regional level. Following this e-mail consultation, three examples were reported to the National Contact Point, which corresponds to a response rate of approx. 2 per cent. In addition, the Contact Point undertook one-on-one discussions with civil society actors to provide information about the Convention and the QPR, including the opportunities for civil society to participate in the preparation of the report. The form was also used for these discussions/interviews, which were held primarily in Austria’s provinces in order to involve actors at a regional level. During this process, the regional culture departments (Laender) were also addressed. Finally, the workshop "Cultural Policy: Civil Society at the Centre" took place in March 2020, giving experts the opportunity to comment on the pool of measures collected for the QPR and to contribute to the report with further measures, projects and initiatives. Section 1.4 (priorities and objectives of civil society actors) is largely based on the results of the workshop.

The initiative’s goal is the long-term inclusion of artists who live in Vienna as migrants or refugees into the Austrian cultural sector. To reach this aim, QM&A; highlights four vital aspects: 1. Building up an active network of newly arrived artists and artists who have been based in Vienna for a long time, as well as representatives of Vienna’s cultural institutions 2. Conveying key competences for successfully navigating the Austrian cultural sector 3. Counselling for newly arrived artists, including direct contact and finding the correct institutions, public bodies, venues, etc. 4. Development of measures to increase the accessibility to Viennese institutions for newly arrived artists in close collaboration with the institutions QM&A; pursues a clear format that facilitates accessibility. Every six months there is an open call eligible for artists residing in Vienna. The 20-30 artists selected, will be working on a work of art in teams, consisting of a newly arrived artist and a long-term resident, of a period of two to four months. Finally, the work will be in collaboration with a curator presented as part of an exhibition. Objectives: • Support for newly arrived artists, helping to navigate the Viennese art and culture sector and getting to know with different actors • Formation of a network of newly arrived artists and artists who have been in Vienna for a long time • Exchange of knowledge and information between newly arrived artists and artists who have been in Vienna for a long time • Advocating for more diversity in the Viennese art sector

Sur la base de l’analyse des réponses fournies via le formulaire des OSC, présentez jusqu’à 10 priorités des OSC dans la mise en œuvre de la Convention pour les 4 années à venir. :

The following priorities are the results of the workshop "Cultural Policy: Civil Society at the Center" (March 3, 2020), which was held by the Point of Contact to the Convention within the Austrian Commission for UNESCO in cooperation with the Federal Ministry for Art, Culture, the Civil Service and Sport, as well as of the ongoing discussions of the Working Group on Cultural Diversity. • Civil society participation The participants welcome the mechanisms that have already been established at federal, regional and local level, as well as the cooperation in the preparation of this report. At the same time, a structurally anchored and continuously active exchange between state and civil society actors is highly relevant and should be expanded. A transparent and inclusive design of these discussion processes as well as a comprehensible, well-founded selection of the interlocutors must be ensured in order to be able to include heterogeneous interests (especially from de-privileged groups). The QPR should also be increasingly used as a vehicle for national cultural policy discussions. Overall, the public sector should continue its on-going activities and efforts including the furthering of gender budgeting, transparency and monitoring. • Social protection / social justice One of the key demands of civil society organisations remains the improvement of the social and economic situation of artists and cultural workers. These include improvements in the area of funding measures / equal access to funding. All in all, the funding landscape should be directed towards the independent art and cultural initiatives, providing adequate funding opportunities. Regarding the social and economic protection of artists and cultural workers, the importance of fair pay for artistic and cultural work is also pointed out. The campaign “Fair Pay for cultural work” (IG Kultur Österreich), which has been initiated in 2011, is particularly worth mentioning. In the reporting period, a large symposium raising awareness for the social and economic situation of artists and cultural professionals was organised (on the initiative of the City Councillor for Culture and Science of the City of Vienna, Veronica Kaup-Hasler, in cooperation with interest groups IG Kultur Wien, Austrian Filmmakers Association, mica - music austria, IG Bildende Kunst, IG Autorinnen Autoren and IG Freie Theater). Without doubt the long-term efforts proved to be successful, with “fair pay” being anchored in the current government programme, for the first time ever. With regard to the “digital environment”, copyright is a central issue for artists and cultural workers, aiming at the creation and implementation of fair copyright regulations. • Gender equality The measures implemented by state actors, presented in the QPR, were highlighted as positive by civil society actors and further civil society measures and examples have been added (see above). Civil society expressed the wish to further expand the gender measures. Furthermore, violations of existing principles of equal treatment are to be sanctioned more than before. At the level of concrete measures and projects, the participants regret the temporary discontinuation of the mentoring programme for female artists and express hope for a reintroduction after the current evaluation of the programme. • Mobility Regarding mobility, civil society primarily focuses on the mobility of artists and cultural workers. Issuing visas for third-country nationals, particularly from the global south, continues to be classified as problematic and an improvement of the situation in Austria is a desideratum, respectively. In particular, the question is raised as to whether improvements could be made at the structural level regarding the interpretation of the European Visa Code at national level. In the area of concrete measures to promote artistic mobility, the artist-in-residence programmes are to be continued after the current evaluation. • Media diversity The priorities brought forward by civil society organisations focus on the area of media promotion and public broadcasting. Austrian media funding should aim at increasing diversity in so far as existing media funding is to be evaluated, particularly with regard to supporting independent, free, non-commercial media. In the area of public service broadcasting, the strengthening of and compliance with its cultural and educational mandate, as recognised in law (Bundesgesetz über den Österreichischen Rundfunk) is a key concern. In particular, this concerns the increased promotion of Austrian and European content as well covering projects by independent cultural initiatives, e.g. reporting on a wide range of cultural topics, also outside of the established cultural institutions. Overall, diverse programming should be furthered not only within public service broadcasting, but within the independent and private media sector, whilst, at the same time, paying greater attention to media literacy.

Environmental certificates are important means facilitating an environmentally sustainable approach within cultural institutions. The implementation of environmentally friendly measures within "green cultural institutions" highlights art and culture's contribution to environmental concerns and climate protection. Below, two examples are outlined in detail: 1. The Kunst Haus Wien was the first museum to be awarded the Austrian Ecolabel („Österreichisches Umweltzeichen“) in 2018. It takes an eco-friendly, sustainable approach on programmatic aspects and considers sustainable and eco-friendly aspects in the set-up of work processes. All workflows are continuously checked against their environmental impact and adjusted accordingly. Kunst Haus Wien’s sustainability concept elaborates on the most important measures that the museum implements to ensure ecological sustainability. 2. The Vorarlberg museum has been re-awarded the ECOPROFIT certificate in 2016 due the very consistent internal and external energy monitoring and the implementation of numerous energy efficiency measures, which have significantly reduced energy consumption in all areas.

Ad 1. As part of the implementation of the eco-label, significant improvements in sustainability and energy saving were achieved at Kunst Haus Wien. The measures taken include the replacement of halogen lights in the museum with LED lighting, the creation of a waste management concept, the establishment of a central waste separation system for visitors as well as the creation of energy-saving and waste separation guidelines for offices and employees. In addition, a certified external cleaning company was commissioned and the careful handling of chemicals in the museum's operations was ensured. Also, the recycling and secondary use of exhibition architecture and packaging material during exhibition set-up, transport and storage was promoted. The museum shop was checked for regionality, plastic packaging and batteries are avoided. Office materials and printed materials, such as invitation cards, folders, exhibition catalogues etc. are produced exclusively on chlorine-free paper in a certified print shop (Austrian environmental label, EU ecolabel). The educational programme within the museum now includes sustainability topics such as loss of biodiversity, unfair water distribution, recycling, the Green Museum. A specifically sustainable exhibition programme contributes further to the framework of the Green Museum. The Kunst Haus Wien invites artists who work on issues such as sustainability, climate change, recycling, urbanism or cross-generational responsibility from a critical and innovative perspective.

The 10 Austrian health targets were developed with the aim to prolong the healthy life years of all people living in Austria within 20 years (until 2032), irrespective of their level of education, income, or personal living condition. Since population health is profoundly influenced and determined by many sectors outside the health care sector, the Austrian health targets were defined in a broad and participatory process that involves more than 40 stakeholders from relevant institutions and civil society. Against this background, the “Competence Group Destigmatization” was initiated. The panel of experts consists of representatives from science, healthcare practice, administration, law, art, culture, media and other experts.

Preceding the implementation phase of the project, "Horminute" was tested and evaluated by the Austrian University Colleges for Teacher Education. According to the results, more than 85 per cent of the students reacted "very positively" or "positively" to the project.

An evaluation is currently being carried out as part of a PhD project at the Mozarteum University Salzburg, in which the participating teachers observed that students calm down (faster), improve their listening abilities as well as their perception of their acoustic environment, and they apprehend to verbalise what is being heard.

Challenges and Achievements

Décrivez les principaux résultats atteints dans la mise en œuvre de la Convention (au moins une réalisation majeure dans un des quatre objectifs):

The Convention’s monitoring framework allows to point out the cross-cutting nature of cultural policies and the Convention has proven to be an effective instrument to stimulate the inter-ministerial dialogue that is necessary to provide integrated policy-approaches. Dialogue among stakeholders mostly takes place on an ad-hoc basis, however, examples of dialogue mechanisms facilitating continuous exchange clearly outline the benefits of such models. The establishment of the “Competence Group Destigmatization” constitutes such example, involving more than forty stakeholders from various sectors; public, private as well as civil society actors. Including culture in a debate on health and well-being clearly shows the integral policy approach taken and recognises culture's important contribution to all aspects of sustainable development in a society. Against this backdrop, Austria regards the 2005 Convention as an instrument that contributes strongly to the implementation of the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), including gender equality, climate protection as well as inclusive and peaceful societies among others. Regarding the platforms of dialogue, a horizontal as well as vertical dimension has to be considered: as outlined above, the horizontal dimension touches upon the involvement of actors from different sectors, relevant to the adequate design of cultural policy measures. The Convention has further contributed to intensifying dialogue regarding the vertical dimension, entailing the involvement of actors from the local, regional, national as well as international level, as well as the participation of actors from civil society. The relevant bodies, the Austrian Working Group of Cultural Diversity as well as the Advisory Committee, have been established over ten years ago and as platforms of continuous exchange they constitute the backbone of the implementation of the Convention in Austria.

Décrivez les principaux défis rencontrés dans la mise en œuvre de la Convention et les principales solutions trouvées ou envisagées pour les surmonter:

Monitoring the concrete impact of the Convention remains a challenge: most of the implemented measures are the result of different, interacting factors. However, as mentioned above, the Convention often functions as an effective tool to foster exchange across various fields and dimensions. Whilst cross-sectoral exchange is already taking place successfully in several areas, including cultural aspects in relevant fields of action often still poses challenges. Currently, activities aiming at the creation of a national digital roadmap, require such 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. In particular, an exchange between actors from the private economic sector as well as actors from the arts and culture sector could benefit the discourse. Whilst the Convention’s framework allows to foster such exchange, it is crucial that these discussions place the artist and cultural worker’s interests at the centre and consider the double-nature of culture. Such intensified collaboration to strengthen cultural aspects in digital strategies is foreseen in the government programme for the period of 2020 to 2024. Whilst having highlighted above that the participatory bodies to the Convention in Austria constitute a key part of the implementation process, the inclusion of civil society actors also poses a challenge. Sustaining interest and active participation requires efforts (communication and capacity-building), in particular, regarding the difficulty to measure concrete impacts and to demonstrate short-term effects. Further, in several areas of action, such as preferential treatment, long-term efforts have evoked few concrete results, demonstrating the need to intensify continuous exchange in this regard. Taking international examples of good practice into consideration will allow to establish mechanisms of coordination, e.g. bringing together experts on a continuous and/or ad hoc basis, ameliorating the situation for incoming artists.

Décrivez les étapes prévues pour les quatre prochaines années afin de poursuivre la mise en œuvre de la Convention et les domaines prioritaires de l’action politiques identifies sur la base des conclusions de ce rapport périodique:

The current situation, due to the COVID-19 pandemic, without doubt will impact cultural policy making in the next four years on the local, national as well as international level. Health protection measures being adopted have resulted in an enormous loss of income for the arts and culture sector in Austria, asking for an adequate response to ensure the social and economic protection of artists and cultural workers, and thereby the protection of the diversity of cultural expressions. Against this backdrop, the focus on the social and economic status of the artist in Austrian cultural policy making will be intensified, aiming at the improvement of the socio-economic situation of professionals in the sector. As a study from 2018 has shown, possible fields of action concern fair remuneration of artists and cultural workers. The government programme 2020-2024 entails the envisaged implementation of the “fair pay” strategy as well as the further development of social security of cultural actors, including pensions, unemployment and the establishment of a copyright contract law. Reflecting the priorities formulated by civil society in the course of the preparation of this report, further measures improving gender equality are envisaged in the programme 2020-2024. Such measures aim at the continuous decrease of the Gender-Pay-Gap in cultural institutions. Furthermore, the implementation of intensified dialogue mechanisms between cultural actors and cultural policy makers, as touched upon in the civil society priorities section of this report, has been anchored in the government programme. The development of a national strategy, as foreseen within the upcoming four years, will allow to consider the cross-sectoral nature of cultural policies and to implement a participatory design including cultural actors from civil society in the process.
