International Cooperation

Research and Development, Support, and Advocacy in Europe and Beyond

Through diversified methodological approaches, we collaborate with cultural organizations, universities, networks, and public entities on participation, well-being, evaluation, data, digitalization, organizational change, cross-sectoral issues, and policies.

In brief

We are members of international networks and promote collaborative projects that develop new themes, map and share practice, and explore innovative models and processes.

Since the early 2000s, we have helped to establish and grow various European and international networks, and continue to be active participants in advocacy and debates, to help develop European policies.

We promote and implement collaborative research, consultancy, and training projects with ICC and the principal partners within the cultural sector , (Council of Europe, the European Commission, UNESCO, foundations, business associations, transnational umbrella organisations, and professional and sectoral networks).
