IDEA Consult helps build a European innovation policy platform for the cultural and creative sectors

Within the Horizon programme, the European Commission has granted 6 million euro to develop an innovation policy platform for the cultural and creative industries. IDEA Consult will play an active role in developing, testing and fine-tuning policy recommendations that contribute to a greener, more inclusive and digital Europe where innovation is driven by culture and creativity.

From June 1, 2023 onwards, IDEA Consult and 16 partners will start building a new "European Cultural and Creative Industries Innovation Policy Platform". Within the Horizon programme, the European Commission has granted our partnership – led by Lund University - 6 million euro to develop an innovation policy for the cultural and creative industries. IDEA Consult is involved in all phases of the project and will play an active role in three cycles of Policy Formulation Labs in which policy recommendations are developed, tested and fine-tuned in an iterative process.

To this end, the partners in the consortium work intensively with a network of more than 40 European networks and organisations so that proposals are well aligned with wishes from the sector. With the policy recommendations the project will contribute to a greener, more inclusive and digital Europe where innovation is driven by culture and creativity.
