DIFFERENCES – ARTISTIC RESEARCH IN THE EUROPEAN UNION (EU4ART_DIFFERENCES)

This project, presented for H2020 from the EU4ART Alliance, is entitled ""Differences"".

It aims to raise each partner’s research profile, to promote a high-level culture of artistic research with a focus on artistic processes and crafts, and to raise academic excellence and strengthen the cooperation of all alliance partners by focussing on differences as a source of future-oriented exchange and development.

Our strategic vision is founded on two pillars through which the consortium will successfully achieve the proposed objectives: building artistic research labs and graduate schools, and knowledge transfer. The program is structured in working packages designed for the development and implementation of the project.

The strategic objective of the working package “Fine Arts Lab Establishment” is to provide a methodological framework for the establishment of R&I centres.

The main objective of the working package “R&I Agenda and Transfer to Citizens & Society” is to develop a common framework for an R&I agenda and action plans as well as to empower art practice and art research within society.

The working package “The creative eco-system” focuses on the creation of a shared fine arts ecosystem where the main themes of producing and managing the arts’ potential are investigated and used for training.

One working package is in charge of the project dissemination strategy and will identify and organise the activities to be performed to maximise the influence of the project and to promote exploitation of the project results.

Each participating university, according to its societal context, will develop its own research unit that will become part of the shared doctoral and postgraduate research community. There is a strong horizontal exchange between the working packages in each university. The consortium has come together as a group for EU4ART.
