This community collection gathers results from the Developing Inclusive and Sustainable Creative Economies (DISCE) H2020 project (2019-2021). At the heart of DISCE is the question of how the creative economies of the future can be both inclusive and sustainable. Addressing this question, the research will generate new empirical and conceptual insights of value to academics, policy makers and practitioners. Networks of creative practitioners and policy makers will play a vital role in this process, as the aim of DISCE, ultimately, is not only to understand the EU’s creative economies, but to help shape their future. This project has received funding from the European Union's Horizon 2020 research and innovation programme under grant agreement No 822314.
