On 8 May 2026, EIT Culture & Creativity’s Regional Hub North West hosts its Open Day at Pakhuis de Zwijger in Amsterdam, as part of Europe Day – a celebration of unity, culture, and connection organised together with regional partners.
The EIT Culture & Creativity Regional Hub North West will open its doors in Amsterdam for its Open Day – an opportunity for creatives, innovators, entrepreneurs, cultural organisations, and policymakers to come together, explore collaborations, and learn how to get involved in upcoming activities and open calls from EIT Culture & Creativity.
This year, the Open Day takes place under the framework of Europe Day, an event organised in collaboration with the European Cultural Foundation, Dutch Culture | Creative Europe Desk, and Kunsten ‘92. Together, we will explore what European collaboration makes possible across the culture and creative industries and collectively imagine what must come next.
Open Day – EIT Culture & Creativity’s Regional Hub North West
The programme dives into five themes shaping Europe’s creative future:
- Democratic media and journalism
- European sentiment and cultural cohesion
- Innovation and responsible technology
- Fashion, textiles, and circularity
- Scaling Europe’s Creative and Cultural Industries
The day will feature speakers from our regional beneficiaries and partners, addressing innovation in the creative industries on a European scale, alongside dedicated spaces to connect with the Regional Hub’s network and discover how to get involved in upcoming open calls and activities.
