The S+T+ARTS initiative (Science, Technology & the Arts) is a European Commission program launched under Horizon 2020 to foster collaborations between artists, scientists, engineers, and researchers. Its mission is to harness the potential at the intersection of these fields to drive innovation addressing Europe's social, ecological, and economic challenges. Key components include artist residencies, the prestigious S+T+ARTS Prize, thematic projects like S+T+ARTS in the City, and regional centers promoting art-driven innovation. By integrating artistic perspectives into technological development, S+T+ARTS aims to create more inclusive and sustainable solutions for society.
