Taking cue from Valletta's run-up to the title of ECoC in 2018, this con- ference analyses the effects of such branding and re-position- ing strategies by exploring re- search, policy and practical ex- amples carried out by different researchers, academics, policy makers and cultural practition- ers, and by combining policy and strategic aspects with practical, on-the-ground perspectives.
