Please note: rescheduled from 11 October! Welcome to the presentation of our new Knowledge and Innovation Community, known as EIT Culture and Creativity – Uppsala University's new responsibility as part of the EU's major investment in specific sectors. Breakfast will be served from 08:15.
For a couple of years, Uppsala University has been the Lead Partner of a consortium comprising around fifty European actors from academia, community organisations, the cultural sector and business. The consortium put together an application to take responsibility for the EIT's new KIC. In June, the consortium won the call for applications and was given responsibility for EIT Culture & Creativity, which will be developed over the next three semesters. On 1 January 2024, a new system of support for activities in the fields of culture and creativity will be revealed. The main focus will be on collaboration between representatives from academia and the cultural sector, new forms of educational initiatives and innovation projects.
