International scientific conference European Realities is fourth in continuation scientific conference that started in 2013. The conference is engaged in interdisciplinary research and analysis of cultural, educational, artistic and scientific policies in the European environment, as well as their consequences on specific aspects of contemporary social and cultural context. The first meeting, held in 2013, was mainly devoted to the role of national identity in the context of the European Union, and the second meeting, held in 2015, dealt with the issue of cultural, educational, artistic and scientific policies in the context of the 200th anniversary of the birth of Josip Juraj Strossmayer. The third conference, which took place in 2017, emphasized the modern media and media culture.

Overall theme of the meeting to be held in 2019 on the Academy of Arts and Culture in Osijek, Department of Culture, Media and Management is MOVEMENTS, in a broad sense. The theme is related to inevitable adjustments of culture, management, creative industries, media and public communications in general to digital environment.

In other words, the question isn’t will we adjust to new cultural, media and economic trends but rather what is the mode of this adjustment and with which far-reaching consequences. Digital revolution, social media, fake news, cultural production as a supplier led process and many other current social and cultural phenomena must also encourage academic community to take a scientific and analytical approach to face the growth of so called influencer-driven culture and the omnipresent “University of YouTube”; denouncing and calling to the responsibility of social media and broader, internet platforms where they have to prove they care about the truth and serious journalism or will be properly forced to do so by European regulation. Art, science and culture also need adjustments to new ways of closing the loop of artist, audience, people and place, respecting at the same time the creative processes and the need to understand the market forces that are leading it. The rise of self-employed workers in cultural and creative industries, especially in the design and media industries needs to be mentioned as well as the fact that their career raise is not led by money but rather by its impact on the world.

The answers to questions how to adjust depend on a collaborative and flexible approach, but also on the emerging new collaborative spaces. In this sense, it is precisely the movements in new directions, innovative and attractive solutions and more provocative reflections that will strengthen the synergy between activities in culture, economy, especially cultural and creative industries and public communications, enabling the establishment of a stimulating research platform to be summarized in the fundamental goals of our gathering:

  • Observe media and public communications in the context of the public sphere, different decision making and implementation processes; in relation to its economic potential and opportunities that media offers or through symbolic practices and orientation on meanings that they transmit through media content; as an arena in which different disciplinary traditions and methodological basics in media research can collaborate and exchange knowledge, with the analysis of current and future trends, developments and media phenomena as an aim. This responds to the conference thematic unit entitled Media and Public Communication in Political, Economic and Cultural Environment.
  • Scientific, economical and media aspects of culture and arts synchronically and diachronically examine within the fields of culture and arts and through research in the scope of regional culture, cultural geography, cultural anthropology, cultural tourism, cultural identity, cultural capital, aesthetics, ideology, religious culture, sociology of culture, cultural memory, heritage and space identity, etc. The modalities of facing the new challenges in culture and tracing current trends, such as the strong digital technology interventions in the everyday life culture as well as in the culture and arts research will be presented within the conference thematic unit Culture and Arts – Scientific, Managerial and Media Aspects.
  • Within the third conference aim and conference thematic unit entitled Cultural and Creative Industries: The Urban Regeneration and Economic Growth Drivers the main intention is to analyse and compare the cultural and creative industries as well as other related industries economic conditions, to identify external and internal factors necessary for achieving dynamic development, to analyze the influence on Croatian economy and European Union as a whole and to identify further development potentials and directions precisely because the cultural and creative industries are the urban regeneration and economic growth drivers, which is supported by data like the growth of employees, realized income, exports, number of freelance workers, new ways of doing business.
