With this study the European Commission puts cultural diversity in front and centre, to learn more on how people discover cultural content online and about the impact of algorithmic recommendations and of other technologies on exposure to cultural and linguistic richness. Special emphasis will be placed on the music and book sectors, recognising their significance in preserving and promoting diverse cultural expressions. Other cultural and creative sectors, apart from the audiovisual, may be considered too.
To carry out this project, the European Commission selected a consortium, consisting of Panteia, KEA European Affairs, Erasmus University Rotterdam, University of Warsaw (DELab), imec-SMIt (Vrije Universiteit Brussel) and IDEA Consult. The consortium will rely on a scientific board and a stakeholder’s community and will organise a series of focus groups as well as an interactive workshop and a conference to ensure the involvement of relevant sectors and experts from different backgrounds. The project has a duration of 18 months. Results are expected by the second half of 2025.
