A Centre for Creative Economy

ecce stands for " european centre for creative economy". Its job is to make sure that the exciting projects that have been set in motion for the European Capital of Culture are carried on after 2010.

"Change through Culture – Culture through Change" is the motto of RUHR.2010: but it will only work if lasting structures are in place. The eccewill continue to support projects that are important for the development of the Ruhr Metropolis – such as the Online Laboratory 2010LAB or Kreativ.Quartiere (‘Creative Quarters’), a project on which cities of the Ruhr are working together to put old industrial sites and buildings to good use.

The new Centre for Creative Economy will move into rooms in the Dortmund U.

ecce belongs to the “Dortmund U” urban development project, but began its work before the U opened. Until it can move into its rooms at the U, the Centre for Creative Economy is being temporarily housed in the Kampstraße.
