Artistic intelligence — harnessing the power of the arts for complex challenges, soft skills and innovation
Pays research consortiums roughly €4.5-5 million to study and pilot art-science-technology collaborations that boost innovation, soft skills and human-centred technology.
Artistic intelligence — harnessing the power of the arts for complex challenges, soft skills and innovation is a Horizon Europe Research and Innovation Action from the European Commission that pays research consortiums roughly EUR 4.5-5 million to study and pilot art-science-technology collaborations that boost innovation, soft skills and human-centred technology. It is paid to each winning consor…
The call funds research that gathers evidence on how art-science-technology collaborations spur innovation and address societal challenges, and that produces guidance, toolkits and evaluation methods for policymakers and professionals. Proposals must cover two required outcomes plus a choice between Focus 1 (integrating arts and creative practices to build soft skills across sectors) or Focus 2 (testing critical artists' engagement in interdisciplinary teams through at least three low-TRL pilot demonstrators).
