“Open & Cross Innovation in Cultural and Creative Industries” is the first webinar of the 2026 series, and will take place on January 27th, between 15:30 and 16:30 CET.
How does innovation really happen in the Cultural and Creative Industries (CCIs) — and why is it so often invisible in policy frameworks?
This webinar aims to explore open innovation as a collaborative process where knowledge flows across actors, sectors, and disciplines over time.
By providing concrete examples from the PerfomativeArts and from a model that connects VET, Applied Research and CCI companies, the session will shed a light on a key challenge: while creative cross-innovation contributes significantly to innovation across many societal domains, it often remains under-recognised in European policy frameworks, with impact on recognition, governance, and artistic autonomy.
If you are an Educator, a Researcher, a Creative Professional or a Decision Maker, this webinar offers you a valuable space to reflect, exchange, and rethink how innovation ecosystems can become more inclusive and better aligned with the realities of the CCIs.
