Study on the discoverability of diverse European cultural content in the digital environment

Commissioned by the European Commission under the EU Work Plan for Culture 2023–2026, this study examines how European cultural content is discovered and accessed in today’s digital environment. It assesses the current state of online discoverability of diverse European cultural works, with particular attention to the role of platforms, curation, and recommender systems, and identifies emerging challenges and areas for policy action. The study focuses primarily on the music and book sectors. Other cultural sectors are addressed more selectively, while the audiovisual sector falls outside the scope of the study.
