S+T+ARTS Regional Centers – Repairing the present

The programs explore the possibility of Repairing the Present through resource, urban, ICT & art-powered transformations at a regional level. By creating the context for innovation processes at the nexus of science, technology, and the arts, the projects encourage a critique of the present, an exploration beyond its current limitations, and the reimagination of other possible futures. While the challenges addressed are pan-European or global, the solutions require a focus on specific local problems. Thus, in Repairing the Present the partners think globally but act locally, by defining challenges that need to be urgently addressed within their localities.

S+T+ARTS is an initiative of the European Commission to foster alliances of science, technology, and the arts, that effectively implement a European approach to technological innovation centered on human needs and values.
