Stay Tuned: The Global Culture Index is Coming in 2026

The Chartered Culture and Education Institute (CCEI) is proud to announce the upcoming launch of the Global Culture Index (GCI) in 2026—a groundbreaking initiative set to redefine how cultural institutions are measured, recognized, and empowered on the world stage.

As the first global benchmarking system spanning museums, libraries, and heritage sites, the GCI will spotlight excellence in cultural impact, innovation, inclusion, and sustainability. With global and regional rankings, along with awards for innovation and equity, GCI will serve as a vital tool for policymakers, funders, researchers, and the public.

In preparation for the global launch, CCEI is actively seeking collaboration with UNESCO, ICOM, IFLA, ICCROM, and other leading international bodies. These partnerships will ensure that GCI reflects the highest standards of credibility, diversity, and cultural diplomacy, enhancing both its legitimacy and long-term impact.

Stay tuned as we prepare to unveil this landmark initiative—one that honors institutions preserving the past, shaping the present, and inspiring the future.
