FENICE: Fostering Entrepreneurship and Innovation in Cultural and Creative Industries through Interdisciplinary Education

In order to valorize the positive effects of the Cultural and Creative Industries (CCIs) on the local and regional economies and to identify development prospects, five established academic and research institutions launched the Erasmus+ Project called FENICE: Fostering Entrepreneurship and Innovation in Cultural and Creative Industries through Interdisciplinary Education. This joint initiative seeks to enhance the quality and relevance of business and art education for the CCIs by focusing on the non-technological innovations that are created within the creative economy in five participating countries: Bulgaria, Romania, Portugal, Greece and Serbia. This is to be achieved via integrated set of research, development, exploitation, dissemination and evaluation activities that derive our main project outcomes:

•  research and best practices exchange in the field of management and entrepreneurship for the CCIs in view of adapting education to creative economy’s skills needs, innovation and sustainability value;
•  cross-fertilisation between business/economics, arts, heritage, IT and media studies and develop innovative syllabuses on this basis;
•  modelling an academia-business partnership to promote incubation, start-ups and entrepreneurship in CCIs in the local communities.
•  networking and cooperation of diverse parties for providing education that not only encourage a new mindset geared toward the valorisation of the creative economy, but also foster a better understanding of the CCIs as “beacons” of a knowledge-based inclusive society.

The FENICE project was developed from November 2020 to April 2023
