EIT Culture and Creativity – Community Catalyser (Call 5)

Summary

EIT Culture and Creativity is looking for activities where Cultural and Creativity Sector and Industry (CCSI) concepts, methods, or resources empower social innovations (e.g., products, services or models) that address place-based challenges related to the Triple Transition.

Building on any of the creative and cultural subsectors (e.g., audiovisual, videogames, performing arts, music, architecture, design, culture, heritage or the arts) the approaches shall lead to clear innovations with scalable and replicable potential that increase both the social and cultural cohesion in the communities, as well as increasing a sense of belonging and empowerment.

  • Generate innovative solutions to place-based challenges related to the Triple Transitions that can be scaled and replicated across different regions and communities in Europe.
