Östersund CCI ‑ Place development through cultural and creative industries

The aim of Östersund CCI is to increase knowledge about conditions under which cultural and creative industries (CCI) can lead to place development, mainly in the peripheral areas of Europe, but also in the meeting between the urban and rural.

This project's objectives are to contribute to place development through cultural and creative industries and to increase knowledge about the conditions and needs of the sector.

The project will focus on the development of the sector in European regions with challenges that are similar to those in northern Sweden. Within the project we will cooperate will several universities and cities that also work with knowledge development around the sector and its contribution to place development. Östersund is the case study of the project and in addition to scientific results, the objective is to provide tools and highlight possible practical ways forward for the city to develop in the field, through workshops, international networks and the results of the project.

This is a project in collaboration with Östersund municipality in accordance with the collaboration agreement.
