We are pleased to announce the launch of the first episode of the EXCENTRIC Podcast, a new series exploring how digital tools, data, and collaboration can support a more human‑centred, responsible, and sustainable future for Europe’s cultural and experience sectors.
🎧 Episode #1
Starting a Digital Transition: Co‑Creation in the Digital Age
In this opening episode, we sit down with Dr. Erik Hitters and Dr. Izabela Derda from Erasmus University Rotterdam, the coordinators of the EXCENTRIC project. Together, they unpack the origins of EXCENTRIC and the motivations behind its human‑centric approach to digital transformation.
The conversation explores:
- Why digital change is critical for Europe’s cultural and creative sectors
- How co‑creation and collaboration can lead to more inclusive and people‑centred digital practices
- The role of ethics, responsibility, and data ecosystems in cultural contexts
- The ARCHS framework as a compass for guiding digital transformation
