S+T+ARTS Residencies Open Call

S+T+ARTS Residencies Open Call

15 October 2021, 1 PM CET - 21 November 2021, 1 PM CET


12 Regional S+T+ARTS Centers from 11 different countries have set out to address the unintended consequences of steadfast technological development contributing to the European continent’s present social, economic, and environmental challenges.

To repair the present, the EU's economy must be transformed and adapted for the sustainable future we all want. The Regional S+T+ARTS Centers focus on a ​resource, urban​, ​ICT & ​art-driven​ transformation as the path towards reconfiguring the current social, cultural and economic landscape. 

As a first step, each Regional S+T+ARTS Center has gathered a group of local experts and together defined 21 challenges in their localities. The 21 challenges have been informed by the EU Green Deal, the New European Bauhaus and UN’s Sustainable Development Goals to reflect pan-European or global issues that nonetheless, require a focus on local regions.

We called for international artists to join in coming up with solutions to these challenges. The residencies will encourage artists to critique the present, explore beyond its current limitations and reimagine sustainable futures.

What do we offer?

  • Up to EUR 40.000 budget for artist residencies to cover the artist fee and other residency-related costs (including but not limited to artwork/prototype production, transportation to joint Prototyping Park exhibitions, travel and accommodation expenses, insurance)

  • Access to the regional residency host organisation and local expert group

  • Access to the Europe-wide S+T+ARTS network 

  • Access to new technologies and R&D departments

  • Participation in Prototyping Parks showcasing the outcomes of the fellowships at MAXXI Rome, ZKM Karlsruhe, as well as at regional locations of the Regional S+T+ARTS Centers upon selection

  • Visibility through high impact communication activities to promote the artistic output and its innovation spillovers (including dissemination events foreseen from July-December 2022)
