The European (Post)Socialist Television History Network together with 
the Television Studies Commission of the International Federation of 
Television Archives (FIAT/IFTA) and Romanian television are organizing 
an international workshop dedicated to 'Unlocking Broadcast Archives 
from Eastern Europe'. The event brings together audiovisual archives 
from the region, researchers who have done pioneering work on socialist 
television history as well as representatives from the European 
Broadcasting Union, the International Federation of Television Archives 
and European projects such as EUscreen, Europeana 1989 and the Freedom 
Express.

The event aims at fostering discussions among leading players in the 
audiovisual heritage domain of Eastern Europe (from broadcasters, 
archivists, researchers and educators, to European organizations and 
networks) on issues that are central to the EU agenda for creating a 
unified European audiovisual heritage space.
