This long-running Council of Europe-ERICarts project, apreciated widely by policy makers and cultural researchers around Europe, is currently in its 18th year of operation. The business model chosen will secure new sources of financing for the Compendium database and increase the database’s visibility on a global scale.

The Council of Europe will remain a stakeholder and guarantor therefore of the Compendium’s compatibility with Council of Europe aims and values.
