Description

This report is the compilation of three discussion papers prepared during the EPIS project – European Perspectives on the Information Society – with a view to gaining an in-depth understanding of the creative content sector. The creative content sector is characterized by a great diversity of activities, therefore music, books, games, films / TV broadcasting, cultural spaces, mobile content and advertising have been the focus of EPIS, for two main reasons: the
role of ICT in their evolution and their contribution to the creation of growth and jobs in Europe. By studying the future evolution of the sector the ultimate goal of EPIS was to provide strategic intelligence for policy makers, and assess the need for policy action in order to unleash the potential of the creative content sector in Europe. The EPIS project was commissioned by EC DG INFSO and carried out by the ETEPS Network1 in cooperation with IPTS between November 2006 and March 2008.
