Meet the Innovation Catalyst for Social Europe!

Wednesday, March 3rd from 6pm to 8pm – CET
The webinar was presented LIVE at facebook.com/MASTermodule

Presented by the MAST partners and MAST alumni:
Peter Purg, Jurij Krpan, Nayari Castillo – Rutz, Michela Magaš, Milena Dragićević – Šešić, Daniela Urem, Simon Gmajner, Chris Csíkszentmihályi, Sergi Bermúdez, Lucia Dubačova, Jatun Risba, Nabil Nazem Fawzi Almanssour, Duarte Luis de Sousa and moderated by Tere Badia.
With participation by Barbara Stacher, Cultural Policy Unit, DG EAC, European Commission.

For the last three years, the MAST project has been connecting students, innovators, engineers, scientists and artists from across Europe to engage with methodologies and practices that intertwine the academic and cultural spheres, contributing to a better social and technological innovation. Next to a novel master study module, the project had a clearly transformative impact on the involved universities and NGOs by implementing progressive concepts and methodologies that integrate the European drive for breakthrough innovation with its Social Values agenda.

As the MAST project draws to a close, we are proud to present the main takeaways from our collaborative work, the lessons learned and the plans we are forging for the future. The MAST consortium believes that these results and outputs set solid foundations for further advancements and developments in the cross-domain field of Arts, Science and Technology.

Join us for a condensed two hours of sharp keynotes, experience reports and dynamic dialogues to learn more about the results of the MAST project, and perhaps share some of its future vectors.

1. The seeming paradox between the hi-tech coded into the New Green deal and the Social
Europe agenda, linked to issues of health, safety, social mobility and cohesion in the face of the new pandemic on the one hand, and the global climate crisis on the other.
2. More on the New European Bauhaus / On the inclusion/equality/equity/justice front – what is ability? What is literacy?
