Abstract: Knowing that the ECoC label is a potential platform for generating social capital for the cultural sector, this article proposes, using the tools of network science, an empirical analysis of the cultural ecosystem of Timișoara 2023. The results allow to discuss the density of the network of partners, the centrality of the most connected partners, the intensity of collaboration between partners and the clusters of collaboration by type of organization. The results can be a policy resource for investigating the sustainability of the cultural ecosystem after obtaining the title of European Capital of Culture.
