Craft Revitalization Action for Futureproofing the Transition to Innovative Technologies for Sustainable Development

Project description

Encouraging European CCSI collaboration for a green Europe

Encouraging and implementing technological advancements and novel approaches are essential to achieving climate neutrality and expanding green technologies for a sustainable transition. The European cultural and creative sector and industries (CCSIs), with its deep tradition and rich cultural heritage, holds promise as a source of creativity and innovation. The EU-funded CRAFT-IT4SD project seeks to establish a network among small and medium European CCSIs, fostering collaboration and technology sharing. The project aims to create opportunities for a flourishing market and reconnect siloed CCSIs to the network. Additionally, the project will conduct a study of CCSI innovation ecosystems throughout Europe. By leveraging the strengths of the CCSI and promoting cross-sectoral collaboration, the project aims to contribute to the advancement of green technologies and the overall goal of climate neutrality.

Objective

CRAFT-IT4SD CRAFT-IT4SD (Craft Revitalization Action for Future-proofing the Transition to Innovative Technologies for Sustainable Development) aims to activate the CCSI towards the green transition by building on the rich cultural heritage and strong creative traditions which underpin the European CCSI. It is the ambition of CRAFT-IT4SD to revitalize knowledge, practices and traditional techniques as shared cultural resources for sustainability as well as spillovers into a new, customer driven and sustainable creative economy, allowing for born-sustainable small and micro-sized enterprises to share climate impact data and flourish via an open source and open data platform. CRAFT-IT4SD explores cross-sectoral CCSI innovation through a new ecosystem approach and with four pilot clusters (DK, ES, FI, RO), where regional governance, public private partnerships, entrepreneurial living labs, learning communities, and consumer-engagement approaches support shared experimentation towards the green transition. CRAFT-IT4SD goes beyond the state of art by merging otherwise often siloed CCI sectors, to further articulate a holistic approach, bridging past, present and future design and production opportunities, in the sense that CRAFT-IT4SD - combines techniques, skills and materials associated with traditional crafts with emerging possibilities for integration with new digital technologies and data analytics processes and services; and - adopts a new ecosystem approach to facilitate co-creation between traditional craft stakeholders, the fashion industry, SMEs by designers, artisans, artists through immersive media technologies. CRAFT-IT4SD holds the ambition to replicate insights, learnings and tangible results leading to a CCSI driven green transition – informed by the EIT CLIMATE KIC and inspired by the New European Bauhaus – in other CCSI ecosystems and thus to contribute to the EIT Culture and Creativity KIC, across its Co-location Centers.
