On 23-25 October 2014, the European Cultural Foundation (ECF) organizes the Idea Camp 2014. During this event, the opportunity for cross-innovation and emerging partnerships is created. The 50 final ideas from the ECF Call for innovative ideas will be presented and 25 winners will be selected.
The camp will be both a meeting place and a working place, fuelled by workshops around topics and methodologies that will help the selected participants to:
- investigate and further develop their ideas
- exchange knowledge and find new collaborations
- inspire and connect with other practitioners from different sectors who are working with culture and communities
- explore and challenge new democratic alternatives.
25 Research and Development grants
Following the Idea Camp, participants will be invited to submit a concrete plan for further research or investigation of their ideas. A total of 25 proposals will be selected and consequently rewarded with an R&D grant up to a maximum € 10.000,-. The grant will enable the research and development of, for example, business plans, concrete project proposals, prototypes, research papers, media reportages etc.
