Kulturanalys Norden, on behalf of the Nordic Council of Ministers, is working for a coordination of culture statistics in the Nordic countries. As part of our ongoing activities, we invite to a Nordic conference on culture statistics in 2024.
Kulturanalys Norden is commissioned to function as a knowledge centre for cultural policy in the Nordic region with the objective to contribute to knowledge production and communication of research. Nordic collaboration in culture and joint cultural funding addresses the need for a knowledge-based foundation for policy development (Nordic Council of Ministers 2021). Here, culture and media statistics contribute to a common and relevant framework for the cultural cooperation.
