Symposium: MAST | Hybrid Interfacing Academy
Exploring innovation challenges through Arts, Science and Technology
September 23 | 17.00 – 18.30
Moderated by: Tere Badia – Secretary General, Culture Action Europe
The goal of the panel discussion is to bring together policy makers, artists and academics, to debate about the interdisciplinary challenges of open innovation in the interface of the Arts, Sciences and Technologies. Artists and designers shape another relationship between science, technology, and human beings, this dialogue stimulates innovation centred on transversal competencies and unconventional thinking. The combination of artistic research and participatory design strategies is key to find divergent approaches to sustainable development of science and technology, and to transform their social and economic impact. It is necessary to create a context of possibility for the development of skills, knowledge and tools from experimental and collaborative environments, as well as research methods in art, social sciences, sciences and technology, and cultural studies. The discussion will focus on critical, ethical and sustainable ways of cross-collaboration between art-science-technology and the available and needed policy instruments to develop collaboration between artists, academia and industry.
Join the event here on September 23, 2020.

Challenge Lab Situation Room
The Challenge Lab discussion will delve into the concept of the Situation Room – a setting within which an interdisciplinary group, interested in taking part in an innovation process is put in front of a challenge – to provide a technological innovation, an application of a technological innovation in the society, or a social innovation. Such process is to be facilitated by an “innovation catalyst”, a professional profile which is being built through AST study modules, such as MAST. The discussion will will give a deeper insight of the terms such as: challenge lab, innovation catalyst, and art thinking.
