Research Chair in Creative Economy & Well-Being

PROJETS & IMPACT > dISCOVERABILITY

Discoverability is the characteristic that contributes to finding or accessing on-line content, particularly cultural content. It contributes to ensuring the existence of conditions that enable creation and its dissemination, thus helping to stimulate the creative economy.

By analyzing the organizational, economic, social and cultural dynamics linked to discoverability, from different perspectives, the research carried out in this area aims to promote innovation, develop critical thinking, strengthen cultural vitality and enhance meaningful collective practices, particularly in Quebec.
