It is online on ParteciPa the public consultation on Ecomic, the new digital ecosystem for culture.
From September 2, 2025, the public consultation on Ecomic is open on ParteciPa — the Italian Government’s platform dedicated to consultation and public participation — an important initiative promoted by the Central Institute for the Digitalization of Cultural Heritage (Digital Library), under the Directorate-General for Digitalization and Communication of the Ministry of Culture.
The goal: to involve institutions and citizens in defining the technological services
The consultation accompanies the publication of the Conceptual Framework Report and the related Executive Summaries, essential documents for understanding the structure, objectives, and potential of Ecomic and the technological services it comprises. Through a questionnaire available on the platform, users can submit comments and suggestions on aspects such as user experience and future prospects of the services offered.
Ecomic: what it is and how it works
Ecomic (Digital Ecosystem for Culture) is a strategic initiative aimed at digitally transforming the Italian cultural sector. Structured around three key technological environments — D.PaC (Digitalization of Cultural Heritage), I.PaC (Infrastructure and Services for Digital Cultural Heritage), and DPaaS (Data Product as a Service) — Ecomic is designed to support the entire lifecycle of digital cultural assets, promoting interoperability, manageability, and the development of innovative services.
Ecomic si costruisce grazie alla collaborazione tra enti, imprese, professionisti e comunità che valorizzano il patrimonio culturale non solo come insieme di beni materiali, ma come rete viva di relazioni e narrazioni condivise. Prendere parte alla consultazione pubblica è un’occasione per contribuire attivamente alla definizione dell’Ecosistema e dei servizi offerti.
How to participate and why it is important
La consultazione è stata prorogata fino al 15 ottobre 2025. Per partecipare, è necessario registrarsi con SPID e compilare il questionario sulla piattaforma ParteciPa. Tutti i dati raccolti saranno trattati in forma anonima, garantendo trasparenza e riservatezza.
It is a concrete opportunity to:
- Actively contribute to the development of Ecomic
- Influence the evolution of digital cultural services
- Promote a participatory culture, in which institutions, organizations, professionals, and citizens collaborate to build a shared system for enhancing cultural heritage
The opening of the consultation represents a strategic step: after the design and conceptual definition phase, it is time to initiate a concrete public dialogue to guide subsequent decisions and design digital services that increasingly meet the real needs of users.
The Ecomic project is funded under the M1C3 – 1.1 “Strategies and Digital Platforms for Cultural Heritage” investment program of the PNRR.
