The European Union dedicates year 2009 to creativity and innovation to raise awareness of their importance for personal, social and economic development; to disseminate good practices; to stimulate education and research, and to promote policy debate on related issues.

Lift France 09, being definitely in line with the objective defined, has been acknowledged as a key event of the European year and received the support of Directorate-General for Education and Culture in charge of the EYCI. Lift event is now published on the official agenda.

Lift is all about creativity and innovation. This has not escaped the European Commission's Directorate-General for Education and Culture, which has labeled Lift France one of the European Year of Creativity and Innovation's official events.

The European Year of Creativity and Innovation aims to raise awareness of the importance of creativity and innovation for personal, social and economic development; to disseminate good practices; to stimulate education and research, and to promote policy debate on related issues.

We are happy to be part of this initiative!

I want to thank the whole LIFT organization for making this event already one of the highlights for me this year. Absolutely amazing what you guys pulled off, and hope to be back next year.

I wanted to let everyone know that I'm organizing a conference of my own, dubbed Plugg, which will be held 19 March in Brussels (Belgium).
