Last days to join an important opportunity aimed at cultural operators to manage the transition to digitization and the green transition

We are talking about the two public notices Capacity building for cultural operators to manage the digital transition and green for the submission of project proposals for “capacity building,” or the ability to take action to improve the digital and eco-friendly approach by organizations operating in the cultural and creative sector.

The amount invested for both calls-promoted by the Ministry of Culture’s General Directorate for Contemporary Creativity with the technical operational support of Invitalia-is €20 million, and is extrapolated from the total budget of €155 million of funds allocated to the PNRR related to technological and green innovation.

“With the last two important investments, the plan developed by the Ministry to push the accelerator on the development of the Italian supply chain of cultural and creative enterprises in a digital and green key is concluded,” says Undersecretary of State at the Ministry of Culture Lucia Borgonzoni. “Thanks to this forward-looking measure worth a total of 155 million euros from PNRR funds, we will have a more resilient and competitive sector and professionals structured to face future challenges.”

The importance of green transition

Both calls are aimed at organizations, whether public or private, individual or aggregated in specialized networks, and the investments are, therefore, intended to support their implementation of capacity building projects to strengthen human capital, management systems and organizational development.

The requirements to be eligible for the first call, which, as the text states, is dedicated to “interventions to improve the ecosystem in which the cultural and creative sectors operate, encouraging cooperation between cultural operators and organizations and facilitating upskill and reskill,” must relate to skills and experience in the fields of training, research, digital innovation, and creative and cultural enterprise development.

For the second call, which aims to “promote the reduction of the ecological footprint of cultural events by fostering the inclusion of social and environmental criteria in public procurement policies, thus orienting the supply chain toward eco-innovation of products and services,” companies must have expertise in activities to reduce the environmental footprint in cultural production and participation. The deadline to join both is August 25th, 2023.
