The event was open to the public and attended by over 450 people.

In conclusion, the Minister of Culture Xavier Bettel announced that Jo Kox, former administrative director of Casino – Forum d’art contemporain and President of the Fonds culturel national, has taken on the follow up to the Assises to deepen the discussions.
