Research Themes
-
The objective of this WP is to analyze film production, financing, and training ecosystems in European small nations including additional analysis of the long-term impact of COVID-19 and current economic uncertainty. The WP will analyze the current state of talent in the film workforce of small European countries, what obstacles are present for its development, and what educational, industrial, and policy measures need to be established.
Adapting the latest insights from the broader start-up sector to the AV sector and testing their efficacy to improve AV project success to inform evidence-based skills development policy will be a key objective. Through this WP, the project aims at building a sustainable ecosystem model that puts emphasis on cooperative production alliances between European small nations encouraging collaboration, knowledge, and asset sharing.
