Being the “Heart of Europe” meant always being a bridge between different cultures, philosophies and ideologies. The official slogan for the Eurovision Song Contest 2015 here in Vienna is taking up this approach: “Building Bridges”. With this year’s FIAT/IFTA World Conference we want in some way to pick up this picture, seeing our archives and our profession as bridges between yesterday and tomorrow, preservers and innovators, young and old, traditional and contemporary approaches.
Addressing this we have chosen the Technical Museum in Vienna as venue, where the bridges between innovation and tradition, old school and modernism can be constantly experienced.
