M3C Multimedia Centres Network of Slovenia gathers existing and emerging intermedia initiatives in all Slovene regions and encourages international co-operation. Its members are mostly multimedia centres that enable free access and encourage creative use of new technology and function as venues, events & workshop (co)producers and information nexuses.

The M3C Network was established in 2004 when nine Slovenian multimedia centres obtained a 3-years funding from the European Regional Development Fund (ERDF) by applying through the Ministry of Culture and developed infrastructural environment in relation to information technology and digital culture.

Background

M3C Network is rooted in a non-formal network, originally called the Cultural Information Backbone, which was formed in the second half of the 1990s. The project's aim was to connect organisations working with digital and information technologies and artistic production. Following funding from the Ministry of Culture and the former Ministry of Information Society, as well as from the European Regional Development Fund (ERDF) in 2004, the infrastructure of the network was extended to cover all Slovene regions.
