This document is a result of the ESSnet-culture project (European Statistical System Network on Culture coordinated by the Luxembourgish Ministry of Culture) co-financed by the European Commission. The European framework for cultural statistics was drawn up in 2000 with the aim of strengthening statistical knowledge on culture and the comparability of cultural data across the European Union. The ESSnet-culture has developed an updated framework taking into account the 2009 UNESCO Framework for Cultural Statistics. The final report presents the results of two-years work done by four task forces, which covered framework and definitions; financing and expenditure; cultural industries; and cultural practices and social aspects of culture. The report proposes the ground for an international model for harmonised international statistics on culture reflecting on recent phenomena of creativity and the development of creative industries, on the measurement of new cultural habits and practices, and on the transformations in the cultural economy due to digitisation.

The framework sets out four strategic objectives to help every citizen realise their full potential and to create sustainable economic prosperity in Europe: to make the education and vocational training systems more responsive to change and to the wider world by supporting lifelong learning and mobility; to improve the quality and efficiency of education and training by raising the levels of basic skills, making mathematics, science and technology more attractive and strengthening linguistic abilities; to promote equity, social cohesion and active citizenship so that all citizens can continue to develop job-specific skills throughout their lifetime; and to encourage creativity and innovation, including entrepreneurship, at all levels of education and training since these are key drivers of sustainable economic development.
