StreamSCAPES establishes its International Advisory Board

StreamSCAPES has established an Advisory Board to support the project’s mission of exploring how Video-On-Demand (VOD) services can contribute to a sustainable climate transition across the audiovisual sector.

 

The Advisory Board brings together leading organisations, industry professionals, and academic experts from across Europe and beyond, ensuring a broad range of perspectives spanning policy, industry practices, sustainability expertise, and media research. Its role is to provide strategic guidance, contribute sector-specific knowledge, and offer critical insights throughout the project’s development.

 

The Core Advisory Board includes the European Film Agency Directors Association (EFAD), which brings high-level expertise on European audiovisual policy, public funding frameworks, and institutional coordination within the film and media ecosystem.

 

In addition, a Pool of engaged organisations contributes applied knowledge from across the European audiovisual, broadcasting, and sustainability landscape. This pool includes the European Broadcasting Union, the European Audiovisual Observatory, Ecoprod, accedo.tv, EUROCINEMA, Humans Not Robots, Festival Scope, as well as ITV (Tim Guilder), Dimpact (William Pickett), Greening of Streaming (Ben Schwartz),  BAFTA albert (Matt Scarff & April Sotomayor) and SINTEF (Andres Felipe Ocampo Palacio). Together, these organisations and professionals offer insights into production and distribution practices, platform technologies, environmental measurement, and industry-led sustainability initiatives.

 

The Advisory Board is further strengthened by a Pool of engaged scholars, whose academic work spans media industries, cultural policy, sustainability, and audience practices. This includes Christiaan de Beukelaer (University of Melbourne), Nancy Duxbury (University of Coimbra), Anita Kangas (Cupore), Ramon Lobato (Swinburne University), Amanda D. Lotz (Queensland University of Technology), and David Nieborg (University of Toronto). 

 

Stay tuned to see how the Advisory Board will support StreamSCAPES in shaping research, dialogue, and action towards more sustainable audiovisual and VOD ecosystems!
