Following the test phase of the Kultura Nova Foundation’s research, whose results were published at the end of 2020, the Croatian Ministry of Culture and Media has in collaboration with the Foundation conducted a research on the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic and earthquakes on the entire cultural sector in the Republic of Croatia. The results of the research are publiched in the "Impacts of COVID-19 pandemic and earthquakes on cultural sector in Republic of Croatia. Report on the research results" publication. The research was conceptualized and conducted in collaboration with researchers dr. sc. Željka Tonković, dr. sc. Ana Žuvela and dr. sc. Krešimir Krolo, and led by dr. sc. Dea Vidović, the director of the Foundation, while the research coordinator was Marta Jalšovec, the associate in the Foundation’s R&D Department. Professional support by the Ministry of Culture and Media was provided by Nevena Tudor Perković and Dinko Klarić.

The research analyses different segments of the impact and resilience of the cultural sector, as well as measures to support the sector that were implemented in response to the crisis. The research data confirmed that the COVID-19 pandemic and the earthquakes drastically affected the cultural sector in Croatia. Based on the analysis, the authors of the research formulated recommendations for upgrading the cultural system and implementing future measures that could respond to the specific needs of various actors in the cultural sector and thus speed up and facilitate their recovery.

Kultura Nova Foundation published the results of the research in the framework of the Kultura Nova edition in 2021. The publication is edited by Dea Vidović, designed by Studio Filburg and disposed under the Creative Commons license Attribution – Share Alike 3.0 Croatia.
