July 29, 2024
The LAUDS Exploration Open Call aims to fund and support the collaboration and co-creation relationship between artists/creative people and technology providers and end-users, through artistic experimentations following the spirit of the New European Bauhaus.
LAUDS Factories invites artists/creative people and technology providers to submit proposals for Experiments aimed at exploring and working with LAUDS factories to enhance their usability and uptake, while answering to pressing challenges in the mobility, energy and agriculture/food production sectors.
The Experiments will collaborate with LAUDS Factories in activities such as conceiving novel uses of technologies that help push for green solutions, and/or exploring alternative design methods using artistic practices creating new industrial models connecting potential manufacturers partners, creatives and end-users. These activities should provide answers to proposed challenges by the three LAUDS Factories with which the selected hybrid teams are to cooperate: Fab City Hamburg (Germany), Maker V-10 (Denmark), and Université de Lorraine, Lorraine Smart Cities Living Lab (France).
Proposals must be submitted by a consortium composed of a minimum of two legal entities, with at least one artist/creative and one technology provider. Entities must be established in an EU or a Horizon Europe Associated country.
The project has 240,000 EUR to provide support to at least six Experiments. Successful applicants will receive a grant that cannot surpass 40,000 EUR per Experiment.
