The European Structural and Investment Funds 2021-2027 [Recurs electrònic] : funding opportunities for libraries / prepared by the EBLIDA Secretariat

Contributor(s): Publication details: The Hague : EBLIDA, 2020Edition: Draft, May 2020Description: 43 p. : digital, fitxer PDF (806,41 Kb)Online resources: Summary: The European Structural and Investment Funds (ESIF) conjure up ideas of a Europe based on hard infrastructure: railway corridors, motorways, broadband wirelines and subsidies to farmers, to name but a few. In the ESIF overall objective to shape a more cohesive Europe, however, the cultural dimension is not excluded from ESIF and a large amount of money is devoted to the improvement of cultural infrastructure. Library projects and policies are often funded in a "hidden" form through ESIF operational programmes which apparently do not seem to be at the core of library missions. The aim of this Paper is to help European libraries raise additional funding for their activities and support them in coping with the new library "normals" emerging after the Covid 19 crisis. EBLIDA will be opening a temporary consultancy service on how to link ESIF to the Agenda 2030, how to apply ESIF in libraries and to accelerate library recovery after the Covid 19 crisis. In the ESI Funds, several notions of culture are identified and promoted. In addition to the anthropological meaning of culture - a set of attitudes, beliefs, customs, values and practices commonly shared by a (political, geographical, religious, ethnic) group - the ESI Funds seem to address two precise domains of cultural policies. The first concerns cultural content and the creative industries. The second is related to the instrumental role of culture in urban regeneration, landscape attractiveness, tourism, entrepreneurship, economic development, social integration and innovation. The role of the social library is particularly emphasised within the ESIF framework with activities that promote a self-aware and fully employed citizenry and the development of a democratic and sustainable society.
