Outreach

The Documentation Centre in Prague operates multidisciplinary outreach activities.

The Documentation Centre delivers presentations upon request on the role and history of the Organization, organizes exhibitions and events for academics, civil society and students and participates in conferences relevant to its record holdings. It also co-operates with networks of academia and think tanks in OSCE participating States and Partners for Co-operation.

Four times a year, the Documentation Centre compiles and posts Quarterly Selections of recently-released OSCE documents and publications to more than 11,000 subscribers. It mails CD-ROM compilations twice-yearly to OSCE depositary libraries and the interested public. In co-operation with the Communication and Media Relations Section (COMMS) and Conference Services in Vienna, Documentation Centre staff curate respective sections of the OSCE website.

In partnership with the Office of the Co-ordinator of OSCE Economic and Environmental Activities and the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of the Czech Republic, the Documentation Centre supports the Concluding Meeting of the Economic and Environmental Forum hosted in Prague every autumn. The Documentation Centre team plays a vital role in ensuring the smooth operation of this key event in the OSCE’s annual cycle of work in the economic and environmental dimension of security.
