Culture Campus Turku – Impactful Networking in the Cultural Sector
Culture Campus Turku is a multidisciplinary and cross-art collaborative network for education, research, and working life in the cultural sector. The network was launched in 2020.
We strategically promote education, research, business activities, and cooperation in the field in Turku. We strengthen the sector’s position and visibility in society and decision-making. We operate as a network-based platform for cultural sector stakeholders.
Together, we are developing Turku into an increasingly vibrant, international, and European city of higher education and culture.
As a result of our long-term work, a centre of expertise in the cultural sector is being established in Turku. It will increase employment opportunities and regional funding in the field, as well as strengthen its attractiveness and sustainability.
