Dedicated to supporting Ukraine in its post-war recovery, our project aims to foster cross-sectoral collaborations and guide the country towards a robust and sustainable future. With a specific focus on arts, cultural heritage, cultural institutions, and creative industries, we offer expert support in policy design, regulations, financing, and pilot interventions. Recognizing Ukraine’s path towards EU membership, we emphasize the alignment of post-war recovery efforts with pre-accession transformations. Our initiatives aim to bridge policy design and implementation gaps through rigorous research, stakeholder engagement, and collaborative workshops known as Policy Labs. These Labs serve as invaluable forums for experts, policymakers, and practitioners to exchange insights and co-design blueprints tailored to Ukraine’s unique context.

Our team consists of a diverse group of experts, policymakers, and practitioners, blending local and international talent, each bringing a wealth of experience. With over 100 project residents actively engaged, we are committed to advancing Ukraine’s EU accession process while harnessing the arts, culture, and creative sectors as catalysts for societal progress and economic growth. We invite you to join us as we pave the way for Ukraine’s post-war recovery journey. It is also to ensure that culture is mainstreamed in other policy areas related to the economy, territorial regeneration, external relations, and social policies. Through events, social media engagement, training, and capacity building, with a dual focus on analysis and impact, and dynamic relationships with policymakers at every governance level, Policy Labs has established itself as a vibrant laboratory for better policies.
