Over the past decade, initiatives like STARTS have fostered a dynamic landscape across Europe where art, science, and technology intersect. Efforts were put in launching cross-sector collaborations, enabling residencies, and opening spaces for dialogue on creativity and innovation. In light of shifting EU policies and rapid societal and technological changes, we invite the stakeholders who are involved in organizing and facilitating the programs at the intersection of arts, science, and technology to consider ways in which the field can be strengthened. The meeting focuses on strengthening the ecosystem built on ASTS networks, mapping resources, sharing challenges, and shaping common frameworks for residencies, exchange, and public engagement.
