Fostering knowledge valorisation through the arts and cultural institutions

This study investigates the role(s) that arts and cultural organisations can play in fostering the valorisation of knowledge coming from research, and how European policy can strengthen their contribution. Based on a literature review, stakeholder interviews, case study analysis and focus group discussions, the study provides insights on: the drivers and formats of engaging arts and cultural organisations in knowledge processes; the unique value(s) and competencies that they bring in; the enabling conditions supporting their participation. The study also highlights the main barriers that currently limit arts and cultural organisations from realising their full potential contribution in fostering knowledge valorisation.
