Summary
The Creative Innovation Lab shall incentivise players from different cultural and creative sectors to design and test innovative digital solutions with a potential positive long-term impact on multiple cultural and creative sectors.
Detailed Call Description
The Lab shall facilitate the creation of innovative solutions (e.g. tools, models and methodologies) that can apply to the audiovisual sector and at least another creative and/or cultural sector. Solutions should be easily replicable and have a potential for market penetration. For the purposes of clarity, the project does not necessarily have to be applicable immediately to the audiovisual sector but one that could easily be replicated in this sector.
For the purposes of this year’s call, apart from the overall general objectives, a thematic approach is also being adopted. For the first year of the Creative Innovation Lab, the two themes that will be specifically covered are:
- greening across the creative and cultural sectors; and
- innovative education tools using creativity and creative sectors to tackle relevant societal topics such as disinformation.
Special attention will be given to applications presenting adequate strategies to ensure more sustainable and more environmentally-respectful industry and to ensure gender balance, inclusion, diversity and representativeness.
Proposals must be submitted by a consortium of at least 3 applicants (beneficiaries; not affiliated entities) and at least 2 must be from different countries participating in the Creative Europe Programme. The consortium must present a diverse range of expertise across several cultural and creative sectors, including the audiovisual sector.
