EIT Culture & Creativity
EIT Culture & Creativity empowers cultural and creative sectors and industries to take the lead in digital, green and social transitions for a carbon-neutral Europe.
Creatives without borders, innovation without limits
EIT Culture & Creativity is the ninth knowledge and innovation community launched by the European Institute of Innovation and Technology (EIT). It is designed to strengthen and transform Europe’s cultural and creative sectors and industries (CCSI) by increasing their innovation capacity and competitiveness.
EIT Culture & Creativity will unlock latent value of CCSI stakeholders through technology transfer, improved cross-sectoral collaboration and policy support. The initiative will also harness CCSIs’ unique position to facilitate the triple transitions in Europe: green, digital and social.
This multi-million programme has been announced in June 2022, is being set up in 2023 and will be fully operational in January 2024. It will be implemented by a consortium of 50 partners from 20 countries across Europe, including Europeana Foundation and our long-standing collaborative partner, Time Machine Organisation. In addition, six co-location centres (CLCs) will be set up to ensure pan-European coverage and accessibility for innovators and creatives.
