Outreach

The OSCE Documentation Centre in Prague conducts multidisciplinary outreach activities.

The 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 of the OSCE participating States and Partners for Co-operation.

Four times a year, the Centre compiles and posts Quarterly Selections of recently-released OSCE documents and publications to more than 16,000 subscribers.

The OSCE depository libraries across different countries support the Centre in promotion of public access to the OSCE public documents. Every year, the Centre mails the DVD-ROM compilations with the main OSCE public documents to the depository libraries and the interested public to ensure preservation of the OSCE’s institutional memory. At present, the OSCE libraries are located not only in the OSCE participating states, but also in the states representing the Partners for Cooperation. If your library would like to join the network, please contact the Centre via e-mail quest@osce.org.

In co-operation with the Communication and Media Relations Section (COMMS) and Conference Services in Vienna, the Centre curates respective sections of the OSCE website.
