S+T+ARTS Day
FRI, September 9
Guided by the belief that artistic perspectives can contribute to innovation beyond the arts and culture realm, the S+T+ARTS initiative of the European Commission strives to give artists a leading role in research and innovation activities with an impact on industry and society. Through a series of talks, discussions, and networking events the conference addresses the ways in which Innovation through art-driven interdisciplinary collaborations can contribute to mapping responsibilities as well as solutions for challenges posed in both the digital and the analogue world.
Futurelab Day
