The themes of the Collab 4 HySust CCI Open Call, “Audience and Hybrid Approaches” and “Sustainability in Collaborative Processes,” attracted a wide range of cultural institutions, non-profit organizations, start-ups, academic institutions, and community-based organizations to apply for the programme.
