Description

This Horizon Europe Coordination and Support Action aims to consolidate and enhance a European innovation ecosystem driven by culture and creativity. The initiative recognizes the pivotal role of cultural and creative industries (CCIs) as engines for transformative change, technological advancement, and societal resilience. The funded project will build upon networks and outcomes from previous EU-funded research, working to boost CCI-driven innovation, foster sustainable and adaptable economic models, and address sector-specific challenges, such as the prevalence of small-scale enterprises and integration into traditional innovation support frameworks. The action emphasizes cross-sectoral innovation, active knowledge exchange, and the development of assessment frameworks and KPIs to ensure long-term impact, sustainability, and engagement with stakeholders from across EU Member States and associated countries.
