Creativity
This section of the ICT programme is managed by the unit 'Creativity'. The unit is part of the 'Directorate General for Communications Networks, Content and Technology' (DG CONNECT), located in the Euroforum building in Luxembourg.
What we do
The Creativity unit covers a range of activities from funding leading-edge ICT research to innovation and policy support.
- Research under the ICT programme will explore the potential of information and communication technologies to enhance creative processes in general and in cultural and educational contexts in particular. It also aims at enhancing user experiences with digital cultural resources, including keeping those resources useable at long-term (digital preservation).
- Innovation activities aim at stimulating the up-take of research results in the creative industry, including SMEs, improving the competitiveness and growth-potential of an important sector of the European economy.
- Policy support activities include the follow-up of the Commission's recommendations on digitisation and digital preservation, with the goal to leverage the effectiveness of national digitisation initiatives through sharing best practises and introducing benchmarks.
