In 2016, the European Commission will launch the STARTS initiative to encourage cross-sectorial collaboration between Science,Technology, and the ARTS. STARTS is an acknowledgement of the increasing prominence of the Arts as a catalyst for innovation in research and technology. This Q&A session will answer practical questions on the scope of this EC technology initiative, how artists can participate in STARTS and how industry and technology could profit from STARTS to attract the creativity of artists to their work.
