Link Campus University joins EU-funded O-City project for creative economy

The O-City research project, funded by the European Union through the Erasmus+ 2019/2021 program, aims to promote alternative models of creative economy (Orange Economy) for cities and territories through strategic investments in cultural and creative sectors. The project has financed a multimedia platform dedicated to promoting and valorizing cultural heritage assets. Participating universities can host artists, photographers, creatives, IT and digital experts, and other professionals active in cultural and creative industries to train students in digital, artistic, and entrepreneurial skills. Among the 13 partners—companies, universities, associations, and foundations from Greece, Slovenia, Serbia, Italy, Spain, and Colombia—is Link Campus University in Rome. The university describes itself as an international private institution with cutting-edge courses designed to foster student and faculty mobility and create emerging professional figures, including creative industry experts. Link Campus University has consolidated relationships with Italian and foreign companies to arrange internships and job placements for graduates. The project emphasizes giving young people space to become protagonists of a sustainable, digitalized future through advanced training.
