For as long as there have been digital cultural formats, there has been data on how these formats are used.

Therefore, the participants of the Autumn Conference of Opera Europa in early October 2023 in Copenhagen and Malmö discussed primarily the experiences with alternative sources of income and financing possibilities in the European context and how these can be adapted to the specific conditions of each country. However, the overarching theme that resonated throughout the entire conference was the intensive consideration of the (future) relevance of music theater institutions as places of cultural education and encounters for society.

Games, especially video games, as a topic for arts and cultural management - that might sound surprising. But the production of digital games is a highly differentiated field with huge economic and personal significance for many people.

Not only have cultural networks as a hybrid form of organization gained importance over the last 30 years, the activity of networking itself has also become increasingly relevant. Especially local or regional networks belong to the realm of socio-cultural organisations that play a central role when it comes to community engagement and participation.

We are faced with a world that seems to get farther and farther away from utopian visions of a unified humanity. Thus, arts and cultural professionals need experiences and strategies to bridge the gaps between communities and individuals. And they need to know when they can and should accept the divisive.
