In 2023, the National Institute for Research and Cultural Training will relaunch the Cultural Consumption Barometer, the most extensive study of its kind at national level. For over a decade, the “Barometer” has been measuring the trends associated with the cultural consumption in Romania, built on similar European models. The main objective of the Cultural Consumption Barometer is to analyse Romania’s cultural sector from the viewpoint of cultural consumption indices. The study was conceived as a useful working tool for specialists within cultural and creative sectors, a relevant analysis for the representatives of the central and local public authorities, as well as an interesting piece of reading for the wide public.
