EIT Culture & Creativity

EIT Culture & Creativity is a new European initiative that aims to fundamentally change the Cultural and Creative Sectors and Industries (CCSI) towards new understandings of competitiveness, sustainable economic growth coupled with positive social and environmental impacts. EIT Culture & Creativity is funded by EIT, European Institute of Innovation and Technology.

Our mission is to transform CCSI value networks and ecosystems radically to ensure they are at the same time competitive, innovative, resilient and financially sustainable, while meeting the ambitious targets of climate neutrality and high standards for social responsibility.

While EIT Culture & Creativity is releasing calls of funding and skill development programmes, EIT CC is not another project funding body. We are co-financing long term partnerships with a return on investment and a transformative purpose to increase resilience in and by the CCSI. To this end, we will also become a holding company for top European CCSI organisations. In this way, we strengthen the global competitiveness of European culture and creativity.
