Open topic: Impact-driven research on realising the full potential of cultural heritage, arts and cultural and creative industries
Forthcoming
This is the status published by the official source.
Expected Outcome:
Projects should contribute to the following expected outcome:
• New groundbreaking findings and methods are developed, verified and put into practice that significantly contribute to realising the full potential of cultural heritage, arts or/and cultural and creative industries (CCIs)[1] as drivers of sustainable innovation and/or a European sense of belonging. Scope:
Applicants are invited to design the best possible and groundbreaking research and innovation to achieve that the full potential of cultural heritage, arts and/or cultural and creative industries as drivers of sustainable innovation and/or a European sense of belonging is realised.
Applicants are free to choose the focus that best addresses the expected outcome; it can be limited to certain areas or issues or be broader. However, research under this topic should have an impact-driven focus and move beyond descriptive studies towards transformative, actionable knowledge.
As appropriate for the focus chosen, proposals should build on previous research, networks or platforms. Projects must not, however, duplicate activities already funded but should explore new areas.
[1] CCIs as defined in the European Parliament Resolution ‘A coherent EU policy for cultural and creative industries’: https://eur-lex.europa.eu/legal-content/EN/TXT/PDF/?uri=CELEX:52016IP0486&from=EN
