SACCORD
2024-2026
The SACCORD project aims to support the Creative Pact for Skills also known as the Large-Scale Partnership (LSP), in the running of its assembly and working groups. Increasing data intelligence on upskilling and reskilling within the CCSI and collaborating
with the CYANOTYPES project. SACCORD is co-ordinating Creative Skills Week 2024 (Amsterdam)
– curating the main programme and accompanying satellite events, on 16 - 20 September 2024.
Imagine a sustainable place where people come together, conduct research, and create culture. A place where you can learn, get inspired, undertake and where new ideas come to life. At the end of 2024, Culture&Campus Putselaan (C&CP), located in
the heart of Rotterdam South on Putselaan, will open its doors. But before that time comes, there is already much planned. The project is a collaboration between Erasmus University Rotterdam, the Municipality
of Rotterdam, Codarts Rotterdam, Rotterdam University of Applied Sciences (Willem de Kooning Academy and Institute for the Built Environment), Afrikaanderwijk Cooperative, Delft University of Technology, Buzinezzclub, ICLEI, and
ELIA.
C&CP is a Horizon Europe Funded NEB Lighthouse project
The scheme, known as the UAx Platform is a collaboration between Abakanowicz Arts and Culture Charitable Foundation (AACCF) and ELIA and will support war-affected art students who have remained in Ukraine hoping to continue their degree studies and build
their artistic practice, and Ukrainian Higher Arts Education institutions which are struggling to deliver teaching during a time of crisis. The UAx Platform will directly support Ukrainian art students through peer mentoring, knowledge
exchange, and capacity building of their institutions, in collaboration with art academies and universities across the EU and beyond. At the core of the scheme is the creation of a Sister School network linking art schools in Ukraine
with ELIA member universities across Europe. Ten schools will be partnered in the first year – five from Ukraine, five from Germany, Estonia, Poland, the Netherlands, and the Czech Republic - rising to thirty schools in the third
year. ELIA member universities will provide support in the form of professional mentorships between teachers and students in Ukraine.
CYANOTYPES brings together a wide variety of organisations, stakeholders, and European networks to address the needs and skills gaps in the Cultural & Creative Industries. Based on innovative multidisciplinary approaches, CYANOTYPES
tackles the sector’s potential for innovation and competitiveness, which deals as well with challenges presented by, among others, COVID-19, the digital transition, and the green shift.
CrAFt is an EU funded coordination and support action for New European Bauhaus transformations towards climate-neutral, beautiful and inclusive cities. With eight consortium partners
and in strong connection to the EU cities mission, CrAFt aims to facilitate the green transition and present a NEB Edition Guidance Package for Climate-Neutral and Smart Cities. This will contain 160 collaborative local governance models,
tools and testimonials and featuring 80 emblematic projects. Following the NEB model, arts and culture will feature prominently in the project, and ELIA will act as connector to the higher arts education community.
Taking a futures studies approach, the FAST45 project aims to imagine, map and shape a higher arts education landscape where participation, research, and education in the arts play a crucial and integrated role within the sector and
society as a whole.
FAST45 aims to collect knowledge, create and test new methodologies and implement them as part of Art School Futures Labs. Educators, researchers, students and business professionals together, are in the process of creating
scenarios with the aim to operationalise them in policy papers, long-term collaborations and valuable tools that will empower arts institutions to not only anticipate an unknown future, but to actively shape it.
The New European Bauhaus initiative fosters systemic approaches to pressing societal challenges by creating new networks among relevant stakeholders, and building bridges between arts, culture, technology and science.
ELIA and the Berlin University of the Arts are setting the stage for our students to make their voices heard. We are initiating a pan-European, interdisciplinary dialogue about the role and responsibilities of Higher Education in Art
and Design and the field’s contribution to envisioned systemic change. With this in mind, we are organising a series of interactive digital events to outline a dynamic blueprint for the requirements of a responsible and sustainable
educational practice within art and design. Our conversations will involve students of higher arts education institutions that are keen to contribute to the NEB initiative.
Plastic Justice: a new dimension in art and design education is a pan-European educational collaboration between five art and design academies in The Hague, Reykjavík, Barcelona, London, Vilnius, and the European network ELIA. Together
with regional environmentally engaged NGOs and scientists, the educational programme, including a conference, exhibition and website, focusses on the long-term impact of invisible micro-plastics on the human body. Plastic Justice
aims to create new knowledge through cross-academic exchange and field-research promoting conscious design education for an upcoming generation.
The Erasmus+ Strategic Partnership CA²RE+ develops a collective learning environment through Evaluation of Design Driven Doctoral Training. Design Driven Doctoral research (DDDr) is taken as a multidisciplinary example of an experiential
learning-through-evaluation model, appropriate for identification and promoting relevance of research singularity, its transparency and recognition, to award excellence in doctoral training for creative and culturally rooted solutions
of contemporary design driven developments. The CA²RE+ project starts in September 2019, finishes in August 2022 and represents a trigger of the CA²RE Conference developments.
Climate change, gender equality and inclusion of minorities are key challenges for our rapidly changing world. Arts and culture have a recognised role in shaping societies and have the potential to significantly contribute to a better
and more sustainable future for all as recognised in the UN Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). The project SHIFT will provide training offers for cultural leaders, working together and creating paths to face such global challenges.
Implementing changes where needed and passing on the gained knowledge to leaders and staff members, of cultural networks and the broader cultural sector are key targets of the project. The partners will produce online manuals and
guidelines during these two next years (December 2019-December 2021) on the following themes:
ELIA is an associate partner in the following projects:
FILMEU (European Universities)
2019-2025
FILMEU’s main objective is to implement a European University of excellence focused in the fields of Film and Media Arts. Our long-term vision implies that by 2025 FILMEU must be constituted as an exemplary collaborative structure
able to deepen the cooperation between all members of the Alliance and foster their ability to act locally, regionally and globally in the cultural and creative industries and across other societal areas they impact.
The AHEH project brings together 14 partners from across 7 EU member states to improve the entrepreneurial capacity of A&H students with an innovative programme of entrepreneurial training. A fresh approach to develop a tailored
Arts & Humanities entrepreneurship model that improves the long-term entrepreneurial prospects for A&H students.
