Regional STARTS Centers
ART + SCIENCE + TECHNOLOGY
EXPLORE TRANSDISCIPLINARY INNOVATION
As part of Regional STARTS Centers, French Tech Grande Provence is organizing a full day of exchanges to explore transdisciplinary innovation.
Scientific inventions and technological developments always respond to social, cultural, and economic challenges; thus it is essential to have a cross-cutting approach to innovation processes. The ability of artists and creators to experiment with technologies, to hijack them, but also to take a critical look at our digital society must help us find the path to more creative, but also more inclusive, sustainable, responsible innovation.
French Tech Grande Provence invites start-ups, artists, and innovation program managers to share their vision and their experiences around the Art, Science and Technology. What do these bring to the innovation process? What are the impacts of the artistic intervention on innovation technological?
Entrepreneurs, researchers, creators, students, we invite you to a day of regional meeting around Art, Science and Technology collaborations organized by French Tech Grande Provence, within the framework of the European program S+T+ARTS (Science, Technology & the Arts).
