Publication highlights data, equity, and technology in cultural policy

ENCATC's Cultural Policy Tracker "Shaping a resilient and inclusive cultural future" explores the intersections of data, equity, diplomacy, and technology within the cultural sector. The tracker also features a section on NEMO's conference on AI and museums, held earlier this year.

Key topics include the Asia-Europe Cultural Diplomacy Lab, which underscores the importance of international collaboration in cultural diplomacy to tackle global challenges. Valentina Montalto's article advocates for a strategic shift in how cultural organisations utilise data, moving from mere collection to its effective use for engagement and decision-making.

The IETM report on fair pay in the arts calls for equitable compensation, while NEMO's museum and AI-focused conference highlights the need to balance innovation with ethical standards. Dimitra Kizlari’s analysis of cultural policy developments within European institutions provides timely insights in light of recent elections.
