Report 1A - Identification of Skills Gaps in Cross-Media Production in the Creative Industries at EU-level
This report describes the transformation of the skills portfolio as the media design and production sector evolved into the creative industries. The emergence and functioning of sector councils in Europe highlight this. These councils are a means to come to a more structural and concerted approach in assessing skills needs involving all of the relevant stakeholders. Special attention will be given to the latest and most relevant EU-policy and research papers related to media design and production.
