Main Aims of the Conference

This European Conference will be held in a direct response to the aims of the Spanish Presidency of the EU during the first half of 2010 and the objectives of the “European Year of Creativity and Innovation 2009” for promoting creativity and the different areas of innovation in the various sectors of human activity in order to help equip Spain and the EU for the challenges and opportunities that new technologies and their application in art, science, and innovation have offered us throughout the world.

The conference is directed towards the policy makers at a national, European and international level, civic organisations in the fields of culture, art, education, businesses involved in technological innovation and especially young people and the general public.

During the two days we shall debate strategies and networks in order to develop a stable alliance of mutual interest between Art, Science, Innovation, Technology, Business and Institutions that will contribute to a real Society of Knowledge based on the culture of creativity and innovation as well as on civic participation. This transversal relationship will culminate in the development of an economy with high added value that responds to the expectations of society in the 21st century.
