On 24 June 2026, the European Commission and research organisation Panteia presented a study on the discoverability of diverse European cultural content in the digital environment to the Cultural Affairs Committee of the Council of the European Union. The presentation, delivered to EU delegations, explores how European cultural works can be made more visible on digital platforms, but carries no official Council position.
The study presentation follows the Cultural Affairs Committee meeting of 27 March 2026, where the topic was first discussed. The document is a note from the General Secretariat of the Council to delegations, dated 24 June 2026, and includes an annex containing the presentation by Panteia. The views expressed are solely those of Panteia and do not state an official position of the Council or its members.
The study addresses challenges and opportunities for promoting European cultural content online, including the role of algorithms, user interfaces, and regulatory frameworks. It aims to inform EU member states' discussions on cultural diversity in the digital age. No immediate policy decisions or legislative proposals are expected from the presentation.
