The ENCATC Academy on Sustainable Cultural Management and Policy is an ENCATC flagship initiative that empowers cultural professionals, educators, researchers, and policymakers to take proactive steps in integrating sustainability within their organisations and across the cultural and creative sectors (CCS). Designed to equip participants with the knowledge and skills needed for the triple transformation—green, social, and digital, the Academy also aims to prepare organisations to respond to emerging challenges in the green transition.

By fostering a strong link between theory and practice, the Academy contributes directly to the objectives of the European Green Deal, the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development, and other key international frameworks. It is an event with a precise policy aim; it emphasises systemic change, actionable outcomes, and the consistent sharing of best practices, policies, and knowledge to advance sustainability in the CCS.
