Partner search under Creative Europe – Culture sub-programme
Universidad Carlos III de Madrid, in Spain, is looking for partners in order to submit a project proposal under the Creative Europe – Culture sub-programme within the call for “Smaller scale Cooperation Projects 2018” https://eacea.ec.europa.eu/sites/eacea-site/files/1._call_notice_eacea_32_2017-culture-ce-2018_en.pdf.
“EUREKA”
project aims at encouraging interdisciplinarity in international
artistic creation, fostering the crossing of borders in multiple
research areas in the service of better understanding and a multifaceted
intervention in our European cities.
In
view of the gradual blurring of the boundaries between disciplines
perceived in the artistic world, EUREKA seeks to accompany that trend by
facilitating meetings, eliminating barriers and enabling synergies at
multiple levels, turning the helm of research towards the improvement of
citizens' quality of life. We propose interdisciplinarity as the basis
for work, offering the best resources and platforms for its furtherance,
and we place these in the service of the environment, of shared spaces,
of sustainability, of inclusion and social innovation. In this way, we
suggest a flow of knowledge and creativity that sails unbounded between
art, technology and cities, through both practical and theoretical
contributions.
For this reason, EUREKA aims to engage two different types of institutions: 1) cultural centres engaging in artistic production or research, concerned with arranging and organising interdisciplinary residencies; 2) research and training centres
in charge of establishing a dialogue between the different ideas
revolving around interdisciplinarity and cities, and of fostering their
dissemination to society and generations of young students.
Goals:
· Promotion of mobility and meetings
among artists and researchers of different backgrounds with respect to
speciality and origin in an international network of mutual enrichment.
· Development of Europe's cultural fabric
thanks to the generation of connections between different disciplines
and institutions and a direct link to contemporary society.
· Support for and strengthening of innovative approaches to creation,
promoting both fertiles and unusual collaboration and work processes
where the exploration of vernaculars is at the service of an improvement
in citizens' live.
· Stimulation of training and participation of audiences
in the realm of new artistic vernaculars, facilitating meetings and
discussions among today's interdisciplinary creators and citizens.
· Transmission and dissemination of innovative processes
by generating both theoretical studies and also a corpus of tools and
actions to boost interdisciplinarity creativity linked to the
development of contemporary cities.
The application should request an EU grant of no more than EUR 200.000 representing maximum 60% of the total eligible budget.
