CREARE Social is an independent Dutch research center that develops research and evaluation that can support decision-making in the cultural sector. The objectives of the organisation are twofold: supporting the cultural sector by strengthening its role based on a balanced relationship between cultural, economic, and social values and collecting and providing scientific knowledge about the cultural and creative sectors.
The organisation builds its research capacities by working with outstanding international scholars and practitioners across Europe.
CREARE Social is working on the implementation of the Value-based Approach on different projects, across Europe, among others to support the processes of change in projects geared towards inducing transformations at the group, community, sector, and/or society level.
In GLAMMONS, CREARE Social will bring its expertise in the assessment and valorisation of (cultural) processes towards an understanding of the culture (in an anthropological sense) of GLAM commons throughout the analysis of shifts of values, stakeholders, and practices that emerge in different contexts. The valuation of social and cultural values will be done through the Quality Evaluator, aiming to augment its scope to Quality Evaluator+, which will assist GLAM communities to evaluate commoning arrangements within different and changing contexts.

Founded in 1899, BSB is an international leading teaching and research school, belonging to the Top 1% of Business Schools in the world with its triple accreditation: AACSB, EQUIS, and AMBA. BSB offers high-level programmes in management, from undergraduate to postgraduate level with a wide range of specializations. Since 2003, CEREN (EA7477), BSB’s Corporate Research Center, brings together the school’s research activities and French and international professors/researchers around six Research Axes related to Management Sciences and Economics: Arts and Cultural Management, Decisions and Behavior, Digital Leadership, Entrepreneurship and Innovation, Finance-Governance-CSR, and Wine & Spirits. These translate into original and differentiated sets of themes (culture considered as the fourth pillar of sustainable development; the governance of cooperatives or family businesses; entrepreneurship education; financial inclusion; wine-business management, etc.) and into methodologies with, in particular, special emphasis on experimental economics within two unique research facilities, the Laboratory for Experimentation in Social Sciences and Behavioral Analysis (LESSAC), and the Wine & Spirits Business Lab involved as a major partner in three EU-funded projects (IPMDecisions, 2019–2024; PrimeWater, 2019-2023 and GOOD, 2023-2027).
Building on a strong publication record in the domains of behavioral research and especially behavioral economics, BSB will contribute with expertise in behavioral aspects of the GLAMMONS project, involving survey and experimental methodologies, as well as in aspects of cultural economics and digitalization in arts through its globally-leading research school in arts entrepreneurship and management.
ECHN is a peer-led network with more than 200 hubs around Europe. Its mission is to enhance the creative, economic, and social impact of creative hubs around Europe and neighboring countries. As focal points for cultural and creative professionals and businesses, hubs play a key role at the intersection of culture, economy, society, education, and technology, and offer the most effective way to support the growth and development of cultural and creative industries. ECHN proposes to its members a series of initiatives dedicated to hubs, the network, the industry, sectors, and the ecosystem as a whole such as mobility programs, annual meetups, learning opportunities, networking, and advocacy initiatives. ECHN has also extensive experience in formulating policy recommendations and working on skills development in the Cultural and Creative Industries, through several European Commission-funded projects (e.g. CENTRINNO, Coral-ITN, Chlaydoscope, Cyanotypes, EIT Culture & Creativity, Future DiverCities, GLAMMONS, Crowdfunding4Culture, S4Fashion, MakersXchange, Creative FLIP). ECHN has built up side initiatives to respond to current social challenges and needs such as Actions in times of urgency (during the COVID-19 pandemic or dedicated to displaced Ukrainian CCS workers) and Creatives Unite (an online platform gathering pertinent initiatives and information).
In GLAMMONS, ECHN will lead the Dissemination and Communication, utilising its vast membership. Moreover, GLAMMONS will use the ECHN network when communicating the various surveys. Furthermore, ECHN will materialize on the project’s outcomes, trying to augment policy recommendations on commoning arrangements beyond the GLAM sector, for other CCIs, especially small-scale initiatives, and organisations in the fields of arts, design, and media.
