This discussion between EUTOPIA members will consider: the importance of major cultural events; the impact of COVID-19 on the arts and culture; and the role of universities in supporting culture and cultural identity.

The University of Warwick is proud to be a Principal Partner of Coventry UK City of Culture 2021. Organisers hope that the launch event next May will coincide with an end to Coronavirus in the UK and that Coventry 2021 will provide much-needed cultural and economic renewal in the region and further afield.
