CRAFTOUR: SCIENTIFIC  CONFERENCE IN ANTWERP (online)

Mad'in Europe

Scientific conference on craft values, digital innovation and resilience. Keynotes, roundtables, demos & debates in Antwerp.

The CRAFTOUR Scientific Conference in Antwerp will bring together researchers, educators, craftspeople, and policy experts for a full day of knowledge exchange on the future of craft in Europe. Hosted at the historic Hof van Liere of the University of Antwerp, the conference will provide a space to debate, analyse, and reimagine the role of craft across disciplines, economies, and societies. Through a keynote, three roundtables, and moderated discussions, participants will explore the core transformations shaping the craft ecosystem today:Histories of value(s) &amp; governance : How and by whom definitions of “craft” are constructed, negotiated, and mobilised; how authenticity, cultural value, and policy frameworks shape the governance of craft in Europe.Digital imaginaries &amp; crafts in transition : How digital technologies, including AI, documentation tools, and new training environments, influence craft practices, learning processes, identity, and cultural transmission.Organisational transformation &amp; resilience : Addressing the full crafts ecosystem, from transmission, sustainability, and ecological practices to innovative business models and positioning a holistic perspective on crafts as the only pathway to resilient craft ecosystems, supported by a detailed identification of existing barriers.The day will conclude with a reflection synthesising insights from all sessions, preparing key messages to be carried forward to Brussels, the following day, for further dissemination and debate. <a href="https://projects.madineurope.eu/craftour/scientific-conference-antwerp/" title="https://projects.madineurope.eu/craftour/scientific-conference-antwerp/" target="_blank" data-msys-clicktrack="0" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer">Full agenda</a> <a href="https://projects.madineurope.eu/craftour/" title="https://projects.madineurope.eu/craftour/" target="_blank" data-msys-clicktrack="0" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer">More about the CRAFTOUR</a> Attending in-person, please register <a href="https://: https://www.eventbrite.com/e/craftour-scientific-conference-in-antwerp-tickets-1975979032478?aff=oddtdtcreator" title="https://: https://www.eventbrite.com/e/craftour-scientific-conference-in-antwerp-tickets-1975979032478?aff=oddtdtcreator" target="_blank" data-msys-clicktrack="0" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer">here</a>
