Encouraging Private Investment in the Cultural Sector
The Culturelink Network invites you to participate in the research study "Encouraging Private Investment in the Cultural Sector" that IMO, Culturelink's focal point, is currently undertaking on behalf of the European Parliament (see letter of confirmation, PDF, 78 kB). Please respond to a short questionnaire that has been designed in order to pool your knowledge and experience, as insights learned through this exercise will bring benefit to all those in Europe that are working on enhancing the cultural sector.
Currently there is no precise picture of how different EU member states encourage private funding of culture and what the financial consequences of their policies are. The absence of common understanding of basic terms, the diversity of national approaches, as well as a lack of relevant data, at EU and Member State level, make the discussion of the importance of private financing of arts and culture difficult. This means that currently it is hardly possible to properly assess and understand the socio-economic aspect of the encouragement of private funding in the cultural sector.
The study "Encouraging Private Investment in the Cultural Sector" aims to get a better understanding of the importance of public incentives for private funding of culture, as well as to assess how good practises at national level can improve financial sustainability of cultural producers.
Please share your knowledge and views by taking the time to fill in the short questionnaire, preferably by 11 February 2011. Also, do feel free to disseminate the questionnaire to your colleagues that you feel may provide relevant insight for this study.
