Virtual Conference with Small Family Businesses

The first virtual conference will be organized for small family businesses from all V4 countries, where ongoing results will be presented and possible proposals for the recovery and adaptation processes of small family businesses during and after the COVID crisis will be discussed. Due to the pandemic risk, the conference will only take place virtually via online platform MS Teams. Conference participants will be project partners and small family businesses from V4 countries that have participated in exploratory qualitative research (which, due to the pandemic risk, will take place online, via Zoom, MS Teams, Google Meet or Skype). The conference will be scheduled for 2–3 hours. At the beginning of the conference, participants will be introduced to the details of the project and then there will be a discussion about the results and proposals of the project. The results of the conference using the Delphi method will be used to identify the results and proposals of the project. The conference language will be English. A service of interpreters will be provided for conference participants. Expert fees relate to this virtual conference to realize and evaluate the online exploratory qualitative research among small family businesses. https://frrms.mendelu.cz/en/post-covid-recovery-of-small-family-businesses-in-v4-countries-2/?psn=100

CEE Public TVs’ Animation Acquisition and Coproduction Managers—Their Realities, Dreams and Nightmares

To finance their projects (animation series/films etc.), independent producers crucially depend on the support from their national broadcasters and from national and international funds. Widest possible interest from television channels from other countries is a great help too. Broadcasters’ involvement is a key indicator for all other partners (including national and international audiovisual funds) that it is possible to trust that the project will be hopefully successfully produced and that it will reach its viewers. https://ceeanimation.eu/programme/cee-animation-experience-programme-2022/
