Janssen, S., Katz-Gerro, T., Rössel, J., Cvetičanin, P.  & M. Verboord (2021). INVENT Policy Brief I. 16 pages.

In this INVENT policy brief, researches first focus on the connection between culture and wellbeing and the ways in which the Covid-19 pandemic has affected cultural engagement and life satisfaction. To this end, they draw on the comprehensive survey data that they recently collected and the pilot study conducted in nine European countries in the framework of the INVENT project.  
Subsequently, authors look into the cultural  value orientations of  European citizens in 27 countries in relation to the European policy focus on accessible and inclusive culture, cultural heritage, cultural and creative sectors (creative economy and innovation), promotion of cultural diversity, culture in EU external relations,  and mobility.  Here, they draw on secondary analysis of existent survey data collected in September and October 2017 in the Eurobarometer 88.1 survey.
