CICERONE is an ambitious, interdisciplinary international research project. Its main goal is to provide an innovative way of understanding how of cultural and creative industries or CCIs function and, thus, providing a new foundation for effective policies at EU, national and local levels targeted at these economic activities.
The CICERONE project entails a four-year research program on the cultural and creative industries with the aim to offer a comprehensive understanding of how the cultural and creative industries operate. It will analyse these industries on the basis of the Global Production Network approach which has been developed by, among others, Neil Coe. This analytical framework highlights not just the role of the local conditions for different stages of production and consumption, but also that of cross-border linkages while emphasising the importance of forms of embeddedness and that of power structures within these networks. Using this lens for CCIs enables us to uncover webs of interdependence for phases of production and exploring the impact of CCIs on local economic development and identity formation in a more comprehensive way and to identify relevant data gaps.
Looking at CCIs in this innovative way, the CICERONE project aims to:
- Improve our understanding of CCIs
- Formulate building blocks for policy making in collaboration with various stakeholders
- Facilitate a better cross-sectoral mobilization and connections between stakeholders
