The next semi­nar in our English-lan­gu­age Digi­tal Euro­pe Eco­no­mic Semi­nars series was dedi­ca­ted to Caro­li­na Dal­la Chie­sa­’s stu­dy on the crowd­fun­ding phenomenon.

Crowd­fun­ding is a local phe­no­me­non with inter­na­tio­nal poten­tial. Cre­ators often rema­in lar­ge­ly con­fi­ned in the­ir local envi­ron­ments, yet expect to go bey­ond small cul­tu­ral pro­duc­tions. This rather local­ly-restra­ined view finds a con­nec­tion with vast empi­ri­cal evi­den­ce that shows how crowd­fun­ding rein­for­ces local ties, clu­sters, clo­se social networks, hen­ce rely­ing upon local endow­ment (Agra­wal et al., 2011; 2015; Hui et al., 2014; Lin & Viswa­na­than, 2016; Men­des da Silva et al., 2016; 2018; Bre­znitz and Noonan, 2020). In her pre­sen­ta­tion, the spe­aker delved into aspects rela­ted to the eco­no­mic geo­gra­phy of crowd­fun­ding and its rela­tion­ship with vario­us cul­tu­ral and cre­ati­ve industries.

During the semi­nar we will explo­re the dif­fe­ren­ces betwe­en sec­tors and the reach of crowd­fun­ding cam­pa­igns as a way to ana­ly­se the eco­no­mic cha­rac­te­ri­stics of cul­tu­ral goods made ava­ila­ble thro­ugh crowd­fun­ding. The pre­sen­ta­tion was also devo­ted to the cha­rac­te­ri­stics of the rewards offe­red in cul­tu­ral crowd­fun­ding cam­pa­igns: the­ir cha­rac­te­ri­stics rela­ted to expe­rien­ce, good­ness and signals of sup­port. This has shed light on one of the most inno­va­ti­ve forms of fun­ding for cul­tu­ral and cre­ati­ve indu­stries, its limi­ta­tions and its futu­re rese­arch agenda.

A series of Polish-language meetings during which researchers and guest speakers look at issues related to digital transformation, new technologies, innovation and digital research methods.

The aim of the "Digitisation under the closer look of science" seminars is to build cooperation between academia, the public sector and business. Scientists share their research findings and have the opportunity to discuss them with experts. The results of their work are available on the DELab UW website.
