The Catalonia node of the red ACTS network, in collaboration with HacTe, is looking for artists, scientists, and technologists to participate in the third Open Forum on Arts, Science & Technology. This will take place on the morning of 12 June 2025 as part of Sónar+D in Barcelona.
Following the success of the previous two editions, the Open Forum will once again provide a platform for participants to share artistic and scientific research questions, fostering encounters and exchanges between diverse communities of knowledge. The interventions aim to spark curiosity, encourage conversation and forge relationships, as well as new ACTS collaborations.
Previous editions have given rise to fruitful collaborations, such as the partnership between Blanca Pujals and the IFAE on the ‘A Synthetic Universe’ project, and the collaboration between Marta Royo Llonch and researchers from the UOC, ICM-CSIC and BAU on the AMOC project, supported by FCRI 2025 grants.
What are we looking for?
We are looking for research questions you are working on, or emerging projects you would like to share. From the proposals received, we will select five artists and five technologists or scientists from different fields to give five-minute presentations.
Who is this for?
The call is open to artists, technologists, and scientists of any discipline who are members of the redACTS network.
What do we offer?
● A participation fee of €200 (taxes included).
● Two tickets to Sónar+D (for Thursday, 12 June).
● Access to a learning and networking space within the ASTS community.
● In specific cases, transportation assistance will be considered.
Deadline for submission of proposals: We will accept proposals until 12:00 CET on 15th May.
If you are interested in participating, please fill in the following form.
We will notify the selected participants by email before 30 May 2025.
