Research programmes
We make a societal impact far greater than our size.
Research programmes leave an impressive handprint in society. They apply an experimental, cross-sector and innovative way of working. Research provides a framework for action – producing relevant and impactful information that can be used for training, development and decision-making. Partnerships with the public and third sectors and companies are at the heart of our activities.
All programmes operate on several levels; at the local community level, national level and EU-level policy work. The programmes’ actions combine practical experiments with broader social impact. A phenomenon-based and cross-cutting approach is our strength – interesting new things happen precisely at the interfaces between sectors, where expertise from different fields meets, birthing new solutions.
Resilient Societies
The research programme enhances community resilience by identifying culture as its foundation and disruptions as catalysts for metamorphosis.
Transforming Communities
The research program develops societal participation, communities’ social sustainability, and youth agency through a human rights-based approach.
Thriving Through Experiences
The research program fosters immersive and engaging experiences across culture, tourism, the arts, events, and education—strengthening vitality, participation, and accessibility.
