Until February 10, 2025 researchers are invited to submit papers for the thematic issue of ‘Culture Crossroads’ on issues related to the social and economic impact of culture. The issue will continue the discussion on the issues and methodologies of impact assessment in the cultural and creative industries (CCI) – which was initiated during the thematic session ‘How to Make It Visible? Assessing Social And Economic Impact In Creative And Cultural Industries’ within the framework of the Latvian Academy of Culture (LAC) conference series ‘Cultural Crossroads XVIII’ in autumn this year.
Thematic issue 'From the Invisible to the Visible: Measuring Social and Economic Impact in the Creative and Cultural Industries' aims to develop new and test existing theoretical and empirical approaches to measuring social and economic impact in the cultural and creative industries.
