Media and content industry (MCI)

Background:

On request from DG CONNECT, IPTS launched since 2009 a research program on the "Statistical, ecosystems and competitiveness analysis of the Media and Content Industries".

The program created a set of 10 studies, numerous workshops and a Conference that pursue three objectives:

1. To offer a quantitative statistical approach to the Media and Content Industries, including their extension or blurring boundaries.
2. To offer an industrial and economic analysis of each of the Media and Content Industries, and their dynamics under pressure of digitalisation.
3. To offer a synthetic view supporting the identification of the main policies at stake.
