Culture is sometimes referred to as the cement that binds a society. From this perspective, the government strives for as many people as possible to have access to high-quality culture. The cultural offerings should also be diverse, whether it concerns books, museums or music venues. This is one reason why the government supports cultural institutions financially from national to local levels. In terms of media, the government also aims for a diverse and accessible range of options.
At the same time, culture and media are dynamic. Culture changes due to factors such as the input of new generations, while the media is strongly influenced by digitisation. Furthermore, the creative sector is receiving increasing attention as a sector that can contribute to economic and urban dynamism.
Dialogic carries out projects in various areas within this domain:
- Monitoring and evaluation of instruments in cultural and media policy
In recent years, Dialogic has contributed to a number of evaluations such as the evaluation of the Fixed Book Price Act, the evaluation of the Subsidy Scheme for the Conservation of Monuments (SIM), the evaluation of the effects of incentive measures for audiovisual production in the Netherlands, and the policy review of cultural participation policy. Dialogic was also jointly responsible for the Culture Monitor 2016-2017 and the digital heritage monitor. - Innovation and collaboration
In the cultural and media sector, innovations are taking place and new collaborative partnerships are being formed. Dialogic has, for example, looked into collaboration and innovation in the pop music sector. We also conduct research on the impact of digitisation on culture, as well as how cultural offerings and participation can be better measured, for instance through social media indicators and big data.
