Creative Czechia Website Modernisation

Creative Czechia is a web portal (www.kreativnicesko.cz) and a platform devoted to the cultural and creative industries (“CCI”) that provides information on the CCI in order to help build awareness of their importance for society and the economy. Creative Czechia is managed by the Theatre Institute (IDU), a state-subsidized organization established by the Ministry of Culture of the Czech Republic, who also coordinates a platform for organisations and individuals who are engaged in projects designed to support the cultural and creative industries. The website publishes interesting articles, interviews, and links to important studies, publications, and events. It also contains the most important outcomes from the five-year research project ‘Mapping the Cultural and Creative Industries in the Czech Republic’ (2011 – 2015). Creative Czechia also organises meetings and events where participants can share experiences and search for best practices for supporting the cultural and creative industries. Creative Czechia inspires the development of strategic solutions on the local and national level. During the second half of the year 2022, the website Creative Czechia will be redesigned in order to extend its functionalities such as setting of the funding finder for the cultural and creative actors, presenting of comprehensive information about the new National Subsidy Creative Vouchers Programme to support interlinking small and medium-sized enterprises with creative service providers on national level and establishing the National Creative Database for all creative service providers interested in providing their creative services in this Programme that last until the year 2025. The Creative Czechia Website Modernisation is planned to be continuously developing until the end of 2025. The implementation of the policy/measure is supported with the financial support from The National Recovery and Resilience Plan Next Generation EU.
