About

Project title: “Cross-sectoral cooperation and innovation within Creative and Cultural Industries – practices, opportunities and policies within the area of the Northern Dimension Partnership on Culture”

It is foreseen that fostering CCI ‘cross innovation’ will be an important element of the new Northern Dimension Partnership on Culture Strategy 2021-2024. Therefore the Northern Dimension Partnership on Culture (NDPC) is running a project, the core of which includes mapping to identify the degree of cross-sectoral cooperation and innovation currently taking place between the cultural and creative industries (CCIs) and other social and economic sectors in the Northern Dimension countries (Denmark, Estonia, Finland, Germany, Iceland, Latvia, Lithuania, Norway, Poland, Russian Federation and Sweden).

In the context of this project ‘cross innovation’ refers to a process by which CCIs share information, collaborate and work with other growth sectors to promote new thinking as well as innovative products, services and activities. The focus is on ‘cross innovation’ between the CCI sector and the digital, economic, environmental, social and education sectors.

In order to identify future CCI inter-sectoral ‘cross innovation’ potential and international opportunities related to the Northern Dimension countries, the project outputs include mapping, reports, policy briefs, articles, experts’ focus groups and case studies looking at different forms of cross-sectoral cooperation and innovation.

The project team wishes to thank everyone who has contributed to suggesting and sharing cross-innovation case studies and stories from all around the region, as well as to all the experts who took part in the focus group events sharing their knowledge and experience as an input to the policy briefs and the research development process.

This is a European Commission project, funded by EU, with the Northern Dimension Partnership on Culture (NDPC) as the beneficiary. It runs from January 2020 to April 2021.
