- Brief information about the initial situation and problem areas defined within this action line: CREADIS3 commitment to improve the policy instrument identified (IROP PO3)
- Conclusions of the Evaluation of the 2015-2017 Action Plan: Several tasks related to CCI support from ESIF funds were not fulfilled in the AP deduction.
- The issue of CCI is currently within the competence of the Ministry of Culture of the Slovak Republic and the Ministry of Economy of the Slovak Republic, but there is no stable form of cooperation that would provide space for mutual information exchange and synergy of planned interventions.
- Insufficient co-operation and communication between public authorities and the private sector in the field of CCI considering the development of support measures for CCIs.

- Interim evaluation of ESIF 2014-2020 instruments supporting CCIs
- Objective: identification of problem areas related to process of setting and implementation of ESIF instruments and giving recommendations and proposals for better addressing of needs that are reflected through ESIF programs in order to more effectively implement programs aimed at supporting CCI in the next programming period.
- Creating a platform for CCIs
- Objective: Create an effective communication platform between the public and private sectors in the cultural and creative industries.
Finally, discussion about the suggested action lines between stakeholders followed.
