What are the key policy areas shaping the future of innovation in the cultural and creative industries? What challenges and opportunities do they face in relation to open innovation? Join the ekip Policy Corner, a brief workshop designed for open dialogue and knowledge exchange, where we will explore potential areas of interest for the ekip project.

Ekip Policy Lab #9 explores the role of cultural heritage institutions (CHIs) in open innovation ecosystems. The main objective of the Lab is to examine the relation between innovation policies and the actual innovation practices taking place within CHIs across Europe.

In the context of this research, we understand cultural heritage institutions (CHIs) to include: galleries, museums, archives, libraries, cultural centres, heritage sites, and monuments.
