The idea of the MSE – Meetings (MSE stands for Middle-South-East Europe) is to gather leaders of art initatives & institutions, curators and theoreticians with a focus on the Middle-South-Eastern European region in order to exchange knowledge, information and experiences and to discuss the specific topic of the Meeting. The Meetings are held biannual and always in different countries.

This edition of MSE – Meeting will put its focus on the idea of networking itself. Therefore a number of representatives from other comparable networks and leaders of institutions respectively curators who work with network related ideas and structures will be invited to join the Meeting in order to compare and discuss the different conceptions of existing networks and the role they can play in further developing of international collaborative projects among participants of such networks. Questions of different impact of a specific project idea on particular art scenes will be as well raised as challenges of collaboration in the moment of different basic conceptions of participating art initiatives and further on disproportions in the MSE region regarding the ability to get projects funded.
