Privacy Statement

By virtue of the Call for proposals EAC/S14/2019, Measuring CCS (acronym for Measuring the Cultural and Creative Sectors in the EU, is a project funded by the European Commision, Directorate-General for Education, Youth, Sport and Culture designed and managed under the responsibility of Qmetrics Serviços de Consultoria Em Gestão de Informação, LDA., with headquarters in Lisbon, Portugal.

The Measuring CCS Project aims to elaborate a statistical framework for measuring the Cultural and Creative Sectors (CCS) in the EU, building on Eurostat’s already existing and planned work and classification. This framework would enable regular statistical analysis of the economic, cultural and social potential of the CCS in Europe. Through a multidisciplinary qualitative and quantitative approach, Measuring CCS will work to:

  • offer an updated definition of the scope of the ‘Cultural and creative sectors’ with a clear statistical definition per single sector (including on-line services).
  • develop a new methodology for capturing and quantifying on-line services per sector whether these are paid services, or financed by advertising and by data.
  • build a methodology to allow better quantification of CCS and comparability at EU level of all available data (existing data, and new data as resulting from the newly developed research,as well as methodology for its regular monitoring of the CCS in the EU.
  • provide updated economic figures on CCS in application of the proposed methodology.
