Cultural Engineering Group

According to the European Commission, cultural and creative industries (CCI) are responsible for around 3.5% of all EU products and services annually, and employ 6.7 million people, or 3% of the European workforce. They represent a significant part of Europe’s identity and growth, by offering a key source of creativity and innovation, as well as contributing significantly to social cohesion and well-being.

Furthermore, given the constant evolution of the cultural and creative sectors, there is also a need to develop the skills of people active in these industries through education and training as well as to facilitate mobility for cultural professionals.

This international symposium will offer the opportunity to discuss potential solutions for the development of cultural and creative industries in the EU. The conference will also examine how cross-sector and cross-border collaborations can lead to a stronger and more competitive cultural sector, fostering European identity and social cohesion.

Delegates will also:

• Explore the measures in place to promote and safeguard cultural and creative industries at the European level
• Asses the economic potential of Cultural and Creative Industries
• Discuss and support solutions to encourage talent and skills development within CCI
• Examine the innovative and social contribution  of digital cultural heritage
