Expected Outcome:Projects should contribute to all of the following expected outcomes:Evidence-based policy frameworks and guidelines promoting the convergence of creative and social economy models.Case studies, indicators, and evaluation methods to measure the social and economic impact of CCSI in social economy frameworks. These tools are provided for policymakers and stakeholders, with areas for improvement identified.Hybrid CCSI business models that incorporate social economy principles, balancing profitability and social responsibility, showcasing scalable examples across different regions and sectors.Workforce development strategies addressing precarious employment in creative sectors, including alternative employment structures, skill-sharing, and professional development, and enhancing socio-economic diversity and mobility in creative industries, using gender-sensitive and intersectional approaches to address inequalities. Scope:The intersection of social economy[[ The European Commission defines social economy in the Communication ‘Building an economy that works for people: an action plan for the social economy’, COM(2021) 778 final, p. 5 "The social economy covers entities sharing the following main common principles and features: the primacy of people as well as social and/or environmental purpose over profit, the reinvestment of most of the profits and surpluses to carry out activities in the interest of members/users (“collective interest”) or society at large (“general interest”) and democratic and/or participatory governance. Traditionally, the term social economy refers to four main types of entities providing goods and services to their members or society at large: cooperatives, mutual benefit societies, associations (including charities), and foundations.” […]]] and the cultural and creative sectors and industries (CCSI) provides fertile ground for advancing sustainable and inclusive development across public and private domains. Enhancing synergies between private initiatives (impact-oriented enterprises, cooperatives, associations) and public policy can unlock innovative models, fostering hybrid approaches that blend public mission with entrepreneurial strategies. Studies highlight the role of social economy entities in CCSI for local development through ecological approaches, territorial clustering, and community engagement, as well as for improving employment and working conditions and promoting inclusive growth[1].The European Commission’s 2021 Action Plan for the social economy, complemented by the EU Social Economy Gateway[2], and the Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD) underscore the CCSI potential for economic growth, job creation, and innovation. The OECD further notes that integrating social economy models in culture and creativity can stabilise employment, improve working conditions in creative industries, which often face precarious employment and limited access to credit, and foster sustainability, innovation and social cohesion[3]. In April 2023, the UN General Assembly recognised the social economy as critical to inclusive and sustainable economies[4].Embracing social economy principles in CCSI can address major societal challenges such as income inequality and social cohesion, while driving culture- and creativity-led innovation and inclusive growth across Europe.Reimagining the creative economy requires CCSIs to engage with broader societal and economic frameworks. This topic aims to enhance the transformative potential of CCSIs’ interplay with the social economy in Europe. Proposals are expected to investigate, develop, and test innovative frameworks and models that leverage social economy principles in culture and creativity to drive social impact, economic sustainability, quality jobs creation, and vibrant, resilient cultural and creative sectors. By moving beyond traditional market logics and adopting cooperative, participatory and socially oriented models, proposals will identify scalable strategies for ethical business, revenue diversification, and embedding social purpose in creative innovation. This may include developing technical or legal assistance and support services enabling CCSIs to access shared resources, enhance resilience, and build community capital. These efforts will empower CCSIs to catalyse inclusive, sustainable transformation and position Europe as a leader in a fairer creative economy.Key areas of focus are expected to be addressed through inter-, multi- and trans-disciplinary approaches (taking into account, among others, contributions by SSH disciplines), including cross-sectoral cooperation and stakeholder involvement:1. Sustainable Growth and Quality EmploymentAnalyse social economy models’ impact on CCSI sustainability, resilience, and growth, particularly during crises.Examine how social economy principles address precarious employment, support alternative employment, and foster professional development, while contributing to creative entrepreneurial ecosystems for regional development that strengthen local economies.Explore financing mechanisms, fiscal incentives and solutions to sector-specific challenges, to incentivize social reinvestment.Investigate how social economy enterprises address socio-economic diversity, income inequality, inclusivity, and promote innovation including within CCSIs.[5] 2. Innovation, local development and social impactInvestigate how CCSI social enterprises drive innovation (including social innovation), social participation, and empower marginalized groups and groups in vulnerable situations, such as persons with disabilities.Highlight social entrepreneurship’s role in catalysing new business models and value-driven practices addressing societal challengesAssess CCSI social economy enterprises contribution to local development, social cohesion, and responsible consumption. 3. Policy and comparative studiesAnalyse and compare policy frameworks supporting the convergence of creative economy and social economy models in the EU and beyond. Identify best practices and propose recommendations for integrated strategies enhancing sustainable, inclusive development and innovation.[1] Among others, A.
