Cultural agreements are treaties between governments that are published in Austrian Federal Law (Bundesgesetzblatt). Work programmes of mixed commissions (representatives of federal ministries) are negotiated at more or less regular intervals (3 to 5 years), which form the framework for bilateral cultural cooperation. Memoranda of Understanding (MoU) are declarations of intent in the field of education, art and culture, each signed by representatives of the responsible ministries. All of the work programmes and MoUs mentioned, explicitly refer to the importance of the UNESCO 2005 Convention. Theyfollow the objectives of facilitating conditions for the internationalisation of art and culture as well as strengthening Austria's international positioning as an art and cultural nation.
