Frank Thinnes
Living and working across borders ever since he was a child, Frank Thinnes has become an expert for the cultural cooperation in the “Greater Region” in the heart of western Europe: Luxembourg, France, Belgium and Germany. Since 2005, he works for the public cultural agency of Luxembourg.

He designed and manages the partnership of 9 cultural administrations, which runs the cultural portal of the Greater Region, www.plurio.net. Together with his regional partners, he implements a strategy of decentralised data collection and multiple channel content dissemination in the challenging context of the Greater Region.

Frank is a graduate art historian (M. A.), cultural manager and specialist for European funding (European diploma in cultural administration of the Council of Europe). He studied in France and Germany. Since 1995, he accumulates expert knowledge and operating experience in managing and counselling cooperation projects in the fields of culture, art, education and labour market for public authorities in Germany, France and Luxembourg.

Being surrounded by technical and administrational stuff all day long, he balances with Yoga and walks through nature.
