WP5, IMPACT OF CH ON EU ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT.
LED BY SDU.

This research area aims to:

investigate the potential of CH for economic development in Europe;

deliver insights based on study of examples of use conducted across various cultural institutions, assessment of the potential of the built environment as a CH resource, transnational study of fiscal issues related to CH and analyses of the innovation and experimentation in the digital economy;

pull together the emerging observations, develop standards and guidelines and seek harmonization of best practice.

Its main tasks are:

Task 1:  skills and jobs.
This task will explore how old skills in new contexts can generate competitive advantage for the European creative industries;

Task 2:  CH and places.
This task will study the place making, promotion and commodification of CH resources.
It includes the analysis of three actual cases of reshaping built environments:

- quarters of the Monastery of the Holy Cross in Rostock,

- the Hamamonou district in Ankara,

- the Empúries archaeological site in Spain;

Task 3:  economics of culture and fiscal issues.
This task will provide 1) an economic analysis of the impact of taxation and public-private support on the production, distribution and consumption of CH; 2) an improved understanding of the geography of cultural activities and ways in which fiscal policy can become more efficient in the age of digitization;

Task 4:  innovation and experimentation in the Digital Economy.
This task will keep a watching brief over publicly funded projects that seek to transform cultural artefacts and our understanding and experience of CH using new technologies.
