Use of Digital Tools in the Arts and Cultural Sector Research

ENCATC research provides insight into the digital technology competences and know-how of people in the arts and cultural sector

ENCATC has published its research on the “Use of

Digital Tools in the Arts and Cultural Sector”. This research gives information about how digital technology know-how is used by three core target groups: researchers, academics, and cultural managers.

In September 2014, ENCATC launched a survey that ran for nine months on “Digital Technology and Know-How”. To widely reach those working in the broad field of arts and culture, the survey was sent

to ENCATC members, stakeholders and Research organisations such as IFACCA, the European Festivals Association, Europa Nostra, IETM, On the Move, UNESCO Forum University network, and the Association of Arts Administration Educators. The survey was answered by more than 450 people in Europe and across the globe. With the data collected, ENCATC’s research team was able to

analyse and better understand the use of digital technology by professional profile, geographical area and age group. The in depth research also presents the use of interconnectivity, popular products used among different devices, use of applications and resources, use of social media, how digital technology is integrated in professional life, and training demands of the different professional profiles.

The research also includes useful conclusions and digital age and what ENCATC can do to support Research recommendations. It is clear that training for them to reach even greater ease of use and professionals in the field of arts and culture should interconnectivity,” said ENCATC Secretary General, be fully adapted to the digital age and designed GiannaLia Cogliandro Beyens, upon the release of from a comprehensive understanding of digital the research publication. technologies as more than mere information and communication technologies.
