    \n
  1. Update the Cultural Participation Survey to gain more insight into the latest trends on cultural participation
    nationally and enable comparative analysis. This will be complemented by further research on audience
    development and engagement to benefit creative practitioners and organisations from the public, private and voluntary sectors.
    <\/li>\n\n\n\n
  2. Create a consultative working group comprising key stakeholders from the public, private and nongovernmental sectors, including sectoral representative organisations, to discuss ongoing and future research in the cultural and creative sectors. This will enable the continuous development of our research programme and ensure its contextual relevance.
    <\/li>\n\n\n\n
  3. Explore and promote capacity building and collaborations that enable cultural operators to optimise their digital audience data management structures through suitable tools, partners and digital infrastructure.
    <\/li>\n\n\n\n
  4. Map the \u2018hard\u2019 and \u2018soft\u2019 infrastructure across Malta\u2019s cultural and creative sectors to develop a more holistic understanding of the environment within which cultural and creative practitioners operate. This exercise will assess the physical, institutional, social, legislative, regulatory and technological infrastructure that create the conditions within which our cultural and creative ecology exists.
    <\/li>\n\n\n\n
  5. Develop an interactive digital interface for quantitative data to present and share research findings in an open and engaging manner.
    <\/li>\n\n\n\n
  6. Conduct evaluation studies into our funding programmes to assess their impact and success, as well as make recommendations for their improvement to better address sectoral needs.
    <\/li>\n\n\n\n
  7. Collaborate on updating the Creative Economy Report with the Ministry for Finance. The report was last
    published in January 2018 and outlines the economic contribution of Malta\u2019s creative and cultural sectors based on macroeconomic data.
    <\/li>\n\n\n\n
  8. Create more comprehensive and transparent data collection structures for ACM\u2019s funding programmes to better understand their impact, reach and range.
    <\/li>\n\n\n\n
  9. Coordinate and commission qualitative and quantitative studies into the relationship between artistic practice and other aspects of social life, including well-being and civic engagement, to gain more insight into the crosssectoral connections between the arts and other socio-economic areas.
    <\/li>\n\n\n\n
  10. Develop a database of cultural and creative practitioners for improved quantitative data collection. This will
    enable us to advocate more effectively for the Status of the Artist framework by means of reliable aggregate data which can inform relevant public policy and legislation.
    <\/li>\n\n\n\n
  11. Develop strategic collaborations with entities and organisations working across Malta\u2019s creative and cultural
    sectors, as well as partnerships as part of consortiums that support national and European research.
    <\/li>\n\n\n\n
  12. Support the documenting of Malta\u2019s artistic legacy by developing strategic collaborations with other public and independent organisations through joint research initiatives and projects.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"","protected":false},"author":4,"featured_media":0,"parent":0,"menu_order":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","template":"","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"footnotes":""},"class_list":["post-13751","page","type-page","status-publish","hentry"],"acf":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/artscouncil.abcnow.xyz\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/13751","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/artscouncil.abcnow.xyz\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/artscouncil.abcnow.xyz\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/page"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/artscouncil.abcnow.xyz\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/4"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/artscouncil.abcnow.xyz\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=13751"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/artscouncil.abcnow.xyz\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/13751\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":13752,"href":"https:\/\/artscouncil.abcnow.xyz\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/13751\/revisions\/13752"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/artscouncil.abcnow.xyz\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=13751"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
