IN SITU is a four-year project that combines research and experimental actions to advance the innovation-related practices, capacities, and potential of cultural and creative industries (CCIs) based in non-urban areas of Europe. Thirteen universities and research institutes from 12 European countries are collaborating on the research, which is led by the Centre for Social Studies of the University of Coimbra in Portugal. West Iceland is one of the six experimental areas of the study, and the workshop is part of the training offered by the project in connection with the study. The project is funded by the European Union’s Horizon Europe research and innovation programme under grant agreement no. 101061747.
