Research for CULT Committee - Creative Europe - Culture Sub-Programme: First Experiences with the Implementation of the New Programme

The aim of this study is to provide the CULT Committee of the European Parliament with an understanding on the implementation of the CREATIVE EUROPE - CULTURE sub-programme based on Creative Europe national Desks’ first impressions. It covers a large selection of 32 Desks (82.1% of Desks). Overall, the Culture sub-programme is considered to be successfully implemented and cultural operators have a positive opinion of it. Yet it emerges a quite diversified picture in terms of successfully implemented priorities, schemes, participation and implementation conditions and Programme management. The study ends with a series of recommendations.
