The Next Renaissance
STARTING A MOVEMENT…
In 2020, over 50 organisations from the Cultural and Creative Sectors and Industries (CCSI) joined forces around the idea that innovation and cross-innovation by the creative economy is the key to the future of Europe.
The idea of The Next Renaissance came up as the consortium was preparing an application to the European Institute of Innovation and Technology (EIT) to call for a Knowledge Innovation Community for Cultural and Creative Sectors and Industries.
The result was this collective adventure; one that gathered contributions from all over Europe and beyond. The Next Renaissance is a mix of talents from artists and writers, to academics, technologists and business people expressing their dreams for a creative and innovative Europe.
It is EIT Culture & Creativity’s immense privilege to support and move forward the Next Renaissance, and honour the work and enthusiasm of all who collaborated in its first stages. Future plans and activities are in preparation.
Stay tuned for The Next Renaissance.
